Curciu – Capela fortificată, din abandon la casă de oaspeți | Cine ascultă o casă?

In the village of Curciu (Sibiu County), a chapel inside the fortified church is being brought back to life through careful reconversion: from an abandoned space it becomes a guest house for the community and for those who want to get to know the village. Episode 5 of “Who Listens to a House?” follows the process on the ground – from archaeological research and stone restoration, to carpentry, execution details and commissioning – a project that has been completed, awarded and featured in the specialized press.
