Saschiz developed on the structure of a Neolithic settlement, defining its solid shape of an inhabited area in the Bronze Age. Documentary evidence dates from 1308-1310. Documentary evidence of Cloasterf dates from 1267 (poss. Praaed.Nicolai); Mihai Viteazu -(Zoltan) 1341. At the end of the XVth century, in 1496, the fortified Evangelic Church was built. Its tower is quite similar to the Clock Tower of Sighisoara castle. In the church yard, some of the gravestones bear very old inscriptions ( 1572, 1677etc.). It is worth mentioning that the Evangelic church-castle in Cloasterf (1521 - 1524), in spite of its old age, is still in a good condition.

About 1 km away from the village, on the top of a hill (more 500m high) there lies - touched by the imprint of time - the Saxon castle. Its construction began in the XIVth century. The walls (7-9 m high) and the 6 towers were meant to defend the inhabitants of Saschiz and of the surrounding villages in time of war.
