'''Nocrich''' ({{langx|de|Leschkirch}}; [[Transylvanian Saxon dialect|Transylvanian Saxon]]: ''Leuskyrch''; {{langx|hu|Újegyház}}) is a [[Commune in Romania|commune]] in [[Sibiu County]], [[Romania]], in the region of [[Transylvania]]. The commune is situated between [[Agnita]] and [[Sibiu]]. It is composed of five villages: Fofeldea, Ghijasa de Jos, Hosman, Nocrich and Țichindeal. Nocrich and Hosman have [[fortified church]]es.

It is the site of the ''St. Ladislaus'' [[Baroque]] church (with many surviving [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] elements, dating from previous buildings).

==History==
In 1910, the Agnita to Sibiu railway line was completed with stations at [[Nocrich railway station|Nocrich]], [[Țichindeal railway station|Țichindeal]] and [[Hosman railway station|Hosman]]. However, the line was closed in 2001. An active restoration group has since been formed aiming to restore the entire line to working condition.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.sibiuagnitarailway.com/ | title=Sibiu Agnita Railway Group | access-date=2 December 2015}}</ref>
