The Câlnic Fortress (Romanian: Cetatea Câlnic; German: Burg Kelling, pronunciation: [ˈkɨlnik]) is a fortress located in Câlnic, Alba County, in the Transylvania region of Romania. It was built by a nobleman whose family later sold it to the local ethnic German Transylvanian Saxon community at a time when the area belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary. When still used for defensive purposes, the double walls encompassed a residential keep, storerooms and a Roman Catholic chapel that became Lutheran following the Reformation. Together with the surrounding village, the fortress forms part of the villages with fortified churches in Transylvania UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  • La ciutadella de Câlnic (en romanès: Cetatea Câlnic; en alemany: Burg Kelling) és una ciutadella situada a Câlnic, al comtat d'Alba, a la regió de Transsilvània de Romania. Va ser construït per un noble la família del qual la va vendre posteriorment a la comunitat saxona transsilvana alemanya local en un moment en què la zona pertanyia al Regne d'Hongria. En aquell temps, les ciutadelles s'utilitzaven amb finalitats defensives, les parets eren dobles i abastaven una torre residencial, magatzems i una capella catòlica romana que es va convertir en luterana després de la reforma protestant. Juntament amb el poble dels voltants, la ciutadella forma part del conjunt de pobles amb esglésies fortificades a Transsilvània, Patrimoni de la Humanitat per la UNESCO. (ca)
