Purpose of the non-profit-association “Churchfortress e.V. Friends of Hundertbücheln - Movile” is on the one hand to maintain the architectural heritage of the fortified churches in Transilvania, their whole ensembles and the characteristic scenery of the medieval villages. On the other hand and in straight professional reference, the association focusses on the sustainable development of a regional based small-scaled economy using the existing traditional craft and agricultural methods. Most (although not all) international members of the association have their professional background in the subject of landscape architecture and try to implement their ecological and esthetical perception into the individual historic scenery of the village Hundertbücheln/Movile in particular and of other transilvanian villages in general. As landscape architects and planners we see the special value of a coherent and integrative landscape and are able to use the combination of architecture and greenery to improve the daily life of people.

Casa Paleologu has always been a privileged place of intellectual discussions and friendships. The house on 34, Armeneasca str. was built in 1932 by Mihail Paleologu and Emilia, his third wife, after they were forced to sell the old tall house on Paleologu street, erected during the first half of the 20th century by the serdar Nicolae Paleologu, the son of the “medelnicer” Mihail Paleologu. The house on Armeneasca street is a comfortable bourgeois building in the cubist style of the 30s, but the furniture and the atmosphere bear the mark of aristocratic manors.
