Râșnov (Romanian pronunciation: ; German: Rosenau; Hungarian: Barcarozsnyó; Transylvanian Saxon dialect: Ruusenåå; Latin: Rosnovia) is a town in Brașov County, Transylvania, Romania with a population of 15,022. It is located at about 15 km (9.3 mi) from the city of Brașov and about the same distance from Bran, on DN73, a road that links Wallachia and Transylvania. The Roman fort of Cumidava was discovered in 1856 near the town. The Râșnov Fortress was first built as a castle by the Teutonic Knights in the years 1211–1225. Râșnov was mentioned for the first time in 1331 as Rosnou and again in 1388 as villa Rosarum. While the village was razed many times in its history by Tatars, Turks, and Wallachians, the fortress was conquered only once, in 1612, by Gabriel Báthory. More information...
