History
Known as the Rooster Church, the Upper Town Reformed Church on Monostori Street is a church designed in the Hungarian Art Nouveau style in Kolozsvár.
The Count Nemes noble family opened part of the site to the public under the name of People's Garden. In the 1840s, open-air theatre performances were also held here. In 1903 the Reformed Church bought most of the Nemes Garden. The simplified version of the plan of local master builder Spáda János for a neo-Gothic church was accepted by the presbytery in 1910. Over the objections of the parochial council, the architect Kós Károly finally made his own plans. Construction started on 1 June 1913 and the church was consecrated on 22 March 1914. The interior of the church is decorated with motifs from Kalotaszeg, and the church has painted coffered ceilings. The coffers were designed by Muhits Sándor, a teacher of applied arts, and painted by Szántó Gergely. On the top of the tower on the south side of the church there is a rooster, hence the name of the church.
