## What you can explore here

- Everyone goes to Viscri and Biertan. There are 160 more fortified churches, and at most of them you phone for the key. (https://mariuscomper.uk/biserici-fortificate/en/)

A map of Transylvania's 162 fortified churches includes the seven UNESCO villages, heritage class, published opening hours, keyholder contact and damaged buildings.

- The Empty House — 1 in 4 Dwellings Stands Empty (https://mariuscomper.uk/casele-goale/en/)

The 2021 Census counts 2.53 million unoccupied dwellings — 25.5% of the housing stock. In Mehedinți 36.3% are empty. County map, breakdown and why the rural empty stock does not solve city rents.

- Which Romanian castle to visit? Bran, Peleș, Corvin: tickets, hours, verdict (https://mariuscomper.uk/castele-de-vizitat/en/)

Bran, Peleș, Corvin, Râșnov, Făgăraș, Cantacuzino: adult tickets, official hours, closed days and the best day trip from Brașov, Sibiu or Sinaia, with measured road distances.

- The castle with three lives (https://mariuscomper.uk/castelul-bran/en/)

On the rock between Măgura and Dealul Cetății, Bran was walled after the privilege of 19 November 1377, became Queen Marie’s favourite home on 1 December 1920, and wears the Dracula castle label — though Vlad the Impaler never held it. Build the fortress phase by phase, in schematic 3D, then peel the myth off the walls.

- 100 places in Romania you won't find anywhere else in the world (https://mariuscomper.uk/o-suta-de-locuri-unice/en/)

An interactive bilingual atlas of 100 singular places, natural anomalies, ice caves, archaic relics, and unique engineering in Romania with map and documented cards.

- Medieval cities 2026: Sibiu, Brasov, Sighisoara — which, fares, access (https://mariuscomper.uk/orase-medievale/en/)

Sibiu, Brașov or Sighișoara: museums, citadels, access and published prices. The Black Church costs 30 lei for adults, with winter hours and three announced closures in November 2026.

- Romanian villages left without a school, 2013–2026 (https://mariuscomper.uk/trei-din-patru/en/)

Of 6,833 villages with a school on the Ministry of Education's 2013–14 list, 1,329 have none in 2025–26. A map of every village over 13 years, and why the official count of rural schools (−76%) does not mean as many schools closed.

- How old is your town? (https://mariuscomper.uk/varsta-localitatii/en/)

The median age of each of Romania’s 3,181 localities, computed from the registered population by single year of age (INS, POP107D), on a map with every real boundary. Search your locality, see how old it is against the country and the county, its age fingerprint in one hundred squares, its pyramid by sex and its path from 1992 to 2026. In 528 localities there are now more registered people aged 80 or over than children under 10; in 1992 there were 9.

## What the county data measures

Measure | Value | Period and meaning

Median age of the population by domicile ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/varsta-localitatii/en/) | 44.1 years | 2026Half the population registered by domicile is younger, half older.

Dwellings with no enumerated residents ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/casele-goale/en/) | 25.8% | 2021 censusOf conventional dwellings. This does not establish abandonment or availability.

Geocoded villages with a listed school structure ↗ (https://mariuscomper.uk/trei-din-patru/en/) | 99 | 2025-26Counts villages in the analysed dataset, not schools or pupils.

Periods and definitions differ. Each project explains its source, unit and data limitations.
