Casa Cojo

Self Catering Accommodation in Sighisoara 

Accommodation in Sighisoara consisting of  fully serviced apartments complete with modern  conveniences including kitchen with  eating and cooking utensils, fridge, and gas cooker. PC with high speed  broadband and TV with multi-channels. Cleaning,  laundry facilities and grocery stocking  available on request.  Terraced garden and courtyard.

The accommodation  is located in the upper part of  Sighisoara  Citadel opposite Turmul Cojocarilor (Furriers  Tower) .  The location guarantees peace and quiet but is just  2 minutes walk from Sighisoara Citadel Square (Piata), Castle and Vlad Tepes Birthplace.  Restaurants, Bars, Shops and Markets abound (but gladly out of earshot).  Above the house to the rear is the Citadel Burg and the 'German School', the oldest still operating  school in the world.

The history of the house in detail is unknown but the presence of a vaulted cellar in the basement indicates the original structure was built by the Saxons during the prosperous years of  Maria Therese.  The upper part of  the house was probably rebuilt a 100 years later as it has a unique style reminiscent of  the architecture of the time.  Consequently the house stands proud on the street frontage distinguishing itself from it older neighbours. The Citadel is the last real living Citadel in the world.  The neighbours are traditional Romanian and Saxon families who have been living in the Citadel for generations.  The last resident was  a clock maker (explains the numerous clocks on the walls) with his workshop being in the loft level.

The house has recently been restored in keeping as much as possible with the original character.
