History

The church was built in 1902 in the English Gothic style. The building, which contains a prayer house and 11 apartments, was designed by two Budapest architects, Nagy Károly Jr. and Jánosházi László. The organ was made by Wegenstein Lipót from Temesvár and the pulpit by Fischer Jakab. It was at this parish, with the eviction of the pastor Tőkés László, that the spark of the Romanian revolution was lit on 16 December 1989.
