Scene Description: Source caption: "Macheta pentru Biserica fortificata din Mercheasa. La începutul secolului al XVI-lea s-au executat modificări de structură în ce privește fortificația bisericii. S-a ridicat astfel, incinta patrulateră ce avea turnuri cu acoperișuri în pupitru la coțuri. În ziua de astăzi mai există doar bastionul sud estic."
