History
The church was built in 1847. In 1848-49 it was a war hospital, as it was not yet furnished. The pastor at the time was Baló Benjámin, who fled from Brád to Arad after many Hungarian civilians were killed there in the Vlach uprisings. His wife and his one-year-old son also died on the way. Nevertheless, he was the pastor of the two Protestant martyrs, Count Leiningen-Westerburg Károly and Dessewffy Aristid, who were executed on 6 October 1849. But he also buried a colonel executed before them, Ormai Norbert, and Kazinczy Lajos, executed after them on 25 October.
Horthy Miklós had his wedding in the Reformed Church in 1901 with Purgly Magdolna in front of Csécsei Imre, the pastor of the time.
