Cincul Mare is a village in the county of Brasov, Transylvania, Romania.

The settlement was founded by Saxon settlers in the middle of the twelfth century, on a plateau located between the rivers Olt and Hârtibaciu. Soon she became the center of Schenk (the German word Schenk = pub), first mentioned in a document from 1329.

The church dedicated to the Holy Virgin, with a central tower to the west, is the largest Romanesque basilica located in a Saxon village and unique in terms of its plan metric positioning: is situated on a hill which descends steeply on three sides, so had to be defended than in the west.

The church fortification took place between 1522-1526, as inscriptions on choir and ship prove, but also changed in time, particularly after the fire of 1789.
