History

In 1740, on the banks of the Torja stream, at the bridge of Kanta, the Minorite Fathers built a small chapel in honour of St John of Nepomuk. This was demolished by the town authorities in 1974. In the year of the Millennium, the local faithful rebuilt the chapel of St. John of Nepomuk, which was consecrated by Archbishop Dr. Jakubinyi György of Gyulafehérvár on 5 May 2002.
