Mălâncrav (village)

Mălâncrav (German: Malmkrog; Hungarian: Almakerék) is a village in the commune of Laslea in Sibiu County, Transylvania, Romania.

They constitute some of the most significant Gothic murals in Transylvania aside from those at Ghelința in Covasna County.

In later centuries the Apafi family (descending from a certain Saxon man named Apa;[2] later a leading Hungarian noble family in Transylvania) buried their dead in the church, since they had overlordship in the village.

[3] The village was not part of the traditionally autonomous Saxon territory, although it had a majority ethnic German population until the 1970s.

[citation needed] The film Malmkrog (2020) has been named after the village and was shot at the Apafi manor.
