A fortress church (German: Kirchenburg) is a particular type of church that, in addition to its religious functions is also used by the local population as a retreat and defensive position, similar to a refuge castle. A fortress church usually implies that the church is enclosed by its own fortifications, such as curtain walls and defensive towers. By comparison, a church with simple defensive features, such as battlements and embrasures on the church itself, is usually just referred to as a fortified church.

  • Als Kirchenburg bezeichnet man die Befestigungen um einen Kirchhof, die in Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit von der Bevölkerung als Rückzugsort bei kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen (Funktion der Fliehburg) und als Lagerort für Vorräte genutzt wurden. Die Kirchenburg kann aus Mauern, Gräben und Türmen bestehen. Weist die Kirche selbst solche Verteidigungsfunktionen auf, spricht man von einer Wehrkirche. (de)
