[EN] Avrig (German: Freck, Hungarian: Felek) is a town in the Sibiu County. The first documents attesting its existence to 1346.
In the 13th century the Transylvanian Saxons, German-rooted colonists built a church to strengthen their position in Avrig. This is the oldest architectural monument in the town and one of the oldest in the county. Originally built as a Romanesque basilica with a western tower, choir and apse center, between 1260-1290, the church was subsequently amended. In the 16th century the collaterals of the church were removed and it was rebuilt as a hall church. In its current form it still retains from the old building the bell tower, the west central nave and the choir. The fortification walls were built in the 15th century.
Noteworthy is the valuable portal, built in Romanesque style and adorned with medieval sculptures. Very interesting are the figurative sculptures that decorate the portal, that illustrate the struggle of god against evil. Their style is also found in the portal of the reformed church of the neighbouring village of Sacadate and can be attributed to the same master. The altar is baroque and was created in its present form in 1825. In the western tower a clock was installed in 1770 donated by governor Samuel von Brukenthal. Among the church bells kept the oldest one dates from 1777.
[RO] Avrig (în dialectul săsesc Frek, Fraek, în germană Freck, Fryk, în maghiară Felek) este un oraş din judeţul Sibiu, atestat documentar în anul 1364.
Biserica evanghelică a fost construită între 1260-1290, în stil romanic. A fost transformată în biserică sală şi fortificată la începutul secolului 16. De remarcat este portalul valoros, construit în stil romanic şi împodobit cu sculpturi medievale. Altarul bisericii cu o singură navă a fost construit în 1805, iar orga în anul 1807, probabil de Johannes Prause. Cel mai vechi obiect al bisericii este cristelniţa oferită de Jacob Zacharias în anul 1715. Turnul clopotniţă gazduieşte un clopot turnat în 1777. În anul 1770, baronul Samuel von Brukenthal, ce tocmai îşi construia în vecinătatea bisericii noua reşedinţă de vară, a donat acesteia un ceas ce funcţionează şi azi.
Cheia bisericii se gaseste la Alexandru Nicolae - str. Gh.Lazăr 12, tel: 0743-765412.

[HU] Felek (románul Avrig, németül Freck) Nagyszebentől 25 km-re délkeletre, az Olt bal partján fekszik. Nevének első említése 1364-ból való, Affrica alakban.
Az evangélikus templom a 13. században román stílusban épült. A 16. században átalakították és megépitették a védelmi rendszerét. Az egy hajós templom nyugati kapuja szépen faragott. Oltárát 1805-ben építették, orgonáját 1807-ben minden valószínüség szerint Johannes Prause készítette. A templom legrégebbi tárgya egy Jacob Zacharias által 1715-ben ajándékozott orgona. Tornyában egyetlen, 1777-ben öntött harangja van. A toronyórát 1770-ben Samuel Brukenthal ajándékozta a templomnak.
