Großkopisch, founded at the end of the 13th century, is located 2 km east of Biertan. The place is picturesquely situated in the valley and is still home to some private vineyards. The village developed particularly quickly at the beginning of the 14th century due to agriculture and wine growing. In 1605 Szeklers ravaged the place and plundered the church, but it was saved by the local people.
