Britain's King Charles has been a gracious and engaged neighbor at the Transylvanian village of Viscri in central Romania after he bought and restored an 18th century cottage here
The monarch, who is distantly related to Romania's former King Michael, has bought and restored an 18th century Saxon cottage in the hillside village, and has made many visits to UNESCO World Heritage site known for its medieval fortified church and architecture.
Nearby, horses were drinking from the village trough and geese roamed. Horse carts and cars mingled on dirt and gravel roads. Camelia Badica runs one of Viscri's two grocery shops and stocks wool socks and slippers handmade by an association of women, as well as honey and jams made from local rhubarb, blackberries and apples.
Saxon villages have seen a resurgence in the past 15 years, with entrepreneurs snapping up abandoned properties across southeast Transylvania. And while resurgence has created jobs, it has also driven up property prices and living costs.
