History

The church was built between 1770 and 1782 in Baroque style on the site of an earlier church dating from the early 17th century. It was once surrounded by a stone wall with two bastion-like towers. It burnt down in the great fire of 1834, which destroyed the priest's and cantor's apartments and the town and ecclesiastical archives, which were kept in the bastions. The rebuilding of the church was completed by 1838. Between 1846 and 1854 the tower was rebuilt under the supervision of the master builder Land András from Brassó. It was during this renovation that the lower two floors were given their neoclassical style features. The present stone pulpit was made in the early 19th century and donated to the church by Jancsó Mária in 1843. The pulpit canpoy was made in 1843 and the Lord's table in 1844. The organ was made in 1861.
