Birds eye view of Pivnita Bunicii facility and shop, located in the lovely village of Saschiz, Transylvania. Let us tell you the story of our location. The village of Saschiz was first recorded in 1309 and in 1999 became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our production facility and shop blends well with the architectural landscape on the outside, while the use of modern materials provides all that is needed to run a safe food processing facility inside.

A great fire in 1853 destroyed much of the village of Saschiz as the houses were at that time of timber construction. However, the cellars which were traditionally made of brick or stone would have survived the fire and will be considerably older. The Kasper family would have started immediately rebuilding their houses on top of these cellars.

Our restoration of the front façade was undertaken in October 2015. After carefully removing the rough cast plaster applied in the seventies, we discovered the original colour and an inscription in German, drawings and hidden features dated 1888 when the reconstruction would have been completed. The words come from a poem written by Simon Dach (1605-1659):

„Geduld, Vernunft und Zeit macht möglich die Unmöglichkeit“
“Patience, wisdom and time makes possible the impossible”

Clearly the Kasper family motto is still applicable today and it inspires us in our efforts towards sustainable rural development.

Special thanks to Chiru Ionut for the drone footage.
