Café Turrepitz
About Us
In Mediaș, Turrepitz was an important figure who patrolled the tower of the Mediaș fortress, announcing Turkish or Tatar invasions or fires taking place.
In fact, TurrePitz literally translates to “Petre in the Tower,” with Pitz being a nickname for Peter.
Next to the Peter’s Tower, Café Turrepitz has been operating since the summer of 2018. Traditionally, messages were received here, but now, at Café Turrepitz, messages about history, culture, tradition, and civilization are shared, all thanks to Mr. Lutz Connert.
Address: Mediaș, Sibiu County, Romania | 
Café Turrepitz is reputed to serve as a ticket office for the fortified Evangelical Church “Sfânta Margareta” in Mediaș, a souvenir shop, an antique shop, a museum, a bookstore, and perhaps most importantly, a tourist information center.
Lutz Connert, the owner of Café Turrepitz, is a passionate historian and an architect by profession with a degree in art.
At Café Turrepitz, you can enjoy traditional Mediaș artifacts (glass items, terracotta tiles, ceramic pots, costumes, etc.) while drinking coffee or reading from the provided books.
