History

The church was built between 1793 and 1794 in Baroque style on the site of a wooden church built in 1750, with a donation from Bishop Ioan Bob. It was built by the mason Topler János. After World War II, the pseudo-Communists banned the Greek Catholic Church and gave their churches to the Orthodox.
