Copşa Mare (Gross-Kopisch) is a part of Biertan. The village owned the largest vineyards in the "Tara Vinului" (Wine Land), the most important wine region of Transylvania.
The economic growth helped people to initiate the building of a fortified church to compete with the one in Biertan, the most famous one across the region. In 1526, Ottomans conquered Transylvania and the work was put on hold. They were continuated in the early 18th century but an earthquake interrupted it again. The fortification was finished already in the 16th century.
