The Fortified Church of Țapu (Biserica Fortificată din Țapu) is a historic Lutheran church and fortified enclosure in the village of Țapu, part of Micăsasa commune in Sibiu County. Standing on a hill above the village, the complex centers on a Gothic church built around 1400 and surrounded by a high oval defensive wall.
The enclosure is one of the most distinctive parts of the site. Built largely from river stone, the wall still rises to more than six meters and preserves traces of a two-level battlement on its inner side. Firing openings and the holes that once supported the timber beams of the guard walks remain visible, showing how the wall functioned as the main defensive structure around the church.
The church itself changed considerably over time. In 1625 the Gothic windows of the nave were removed, and the medieval tower was probably demolished during the same phase. Evidence for that lost tower survives in the unusually thick masonry between the nave and choir. Another major alteration followed in 1838, when a porch was added on the north side, the western portal was blocked, and a new entrance was opened to the south.
A medieval chapel once stood against the southern enclosure wall, but it was demolished in 1852 and its stone reused for a new school. Inside the church, the furnishings are notably restrained, with a simple Baroque altar dating from 1712. That modest interior reflects the more limited economic resources of the village compared with some of the wealthier Saxon settlements nearby.
