The church is one of the most important Gothic monuments of Transylvania. The first record of the Medgyes parish dates back to 1283, when the parish priest Ádám was mentioned. The next mention dates back to 1414, when the church was dedicated to Saint Margaret of Antioch. In 1446, Pope Eugene IV granted the church a indulgence. It became Lutheran in the 16th century. It was the venue of several Transylvanian country assemblies and in 1576, Prince Báthory István of Transylvania received here the Polish embassy offering him the crown of Poland.

According to excavations, the church was built in the 13th century, with a larger sanctuary added in the 14th century. The north aisle was built in the 14th century, the south aisle in the late 15th century. The present sanctuary was built around 1430. The church has one of the largest surface medieval wall paintings in the Carpathian Basin. It has a Gothic pulpit and winged altar and a 14th century bronze baptismal font. The walls of the sanctuary contain tombstones from the 16th and 17th centuries. Its organ dates from 1678 and was enlarged to its present form in 1732.

Its leaning tower is the symbol of the town. Between 1495 and 1498, the tower was raised by three storeys to a height of 68.5 metres, exceeding the height of the St Stephen's Church in Vienna. However, due to soft ground, it started to lean and now it slants 2.28 metres from the vertical, making it the 12th tallest leaning tower in the world.

The church is surrounded by a ring of walls fortified with five towers, the construction of which probably dates back to the 15th century.

It is said that King Matthias of Hungary had Vlad Tepes, former voivode of Wallachia, imprisoned in this tower in 1476.

Tradition has it that the Franciscans settled in the town in 1444. They built their church and monastery dedicated to St. Elizabeth in the immediate vicinity of the castle walls. The church tower was mentioned in 1485. The present church was probably built in the Gothic style in the early 16th century. In 1534, the Venetian adventurer Lodovico Gritti, the notorious governor of Hungary, was buried in the church, despite the protests of the citizens of Medgyes. In 1557 the Protestants shut down the monastery and the monks were expelled. It then stood empty and was used as a stable. In 1613, the assassins of Prince Báthory Gábor of Transylvania, Nadányi Gergely and Szilvásy János, were thrown from the church tower. In 1721, the town council, under pressure from the imperial commander Hugo Damain de Virdmont, returned the church and monastery to the Franciscans. The neglected building was restored in Baroque style with the support of the Transylvanian Hungarian Catholic aristocracy and imperial officers. Work continued into the early 1740s, when Haller János, the governor of Transylvania, and his wife Dániel Zsófia generously supported the renovation of the nave and the southern side chapel (their coat of arms is on the parapet of the gallery). The church's Baroque altars were also built in the 18th century, and its organ was made in 1750 by Johann Hahn in the organ workshop in Szeben, with the support of Baló József and Monos Tamás. In 1865, the brick portico was built by the mason Sperha Mátyás. In 1911-13 the church was rebuilt and the stained glass windows made in the workshop of Richard Schlein in Grottau were installed. In 1929, Herczeg Ferenc, a painter from Marosvásárhely, created the decorative painting and figural details still visible today.

The Calvinist received the New Bastion from the town in 1869, on the site of which they built their present church in 1888. Their congregation has had a separate parish since 1885.

The church was built in 1826 in the neoclassical style. The interior painting dates from 1934.

The Orthodox cathedral was built after the Romanian occupation in 1929-35 in the neo-Byzantine style. It was designed by George Plăcintaru Liteanu. The town's Orthodox inhabitants built their first wooden church in 1787, which was destroyed in 1849. In its place, a stone church was built in 1850 on the banks of the Muzsnai stream. In the 1920s, the Saxon magistrate prevented the new Orthodox church from being built on the main square, but as a compromise they donated the site of the present church to the Orthodox on the former wood market.

It is connected to the Marienturm. It dates back to the 15th century, with the upper floor built in the 16th century. It was rebuilt in 1793.

Stephan Ludwig Roth was born in 1796 in this former vicarage, built in 1713 on 15th century foundations. During the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848-49, Roth sided with the Habsburg oppressors and the Vlach rebels who supported them, and was executed for his treason. The exhibition includes Roth's furniture, his rifle and the cloak he wore at the time of his execution.

In 1721, the town council, under pressure from the imperial commander Hugo Damain de Virdmont, returned the church and monastery to the Franciscans. The neglected building was restored in Baroque style with the support of the Transylvanian Hungarian Catholic aristocracy and imperial officers. In 1747, after the construction was completed, the Medgyes monastery was elevated to convent status, and afterwards most of the provincial meetings of the Transylvanian Franciscan Order were held here. From 1747 onwards, an elementary school was also run within the walls of the monastery. Since 1970, it has been used as a municipal mausoleum. The museum's collection is based on ethnographic material collected by the Saxon pastor between the two world wars.

Built between 1893-94.

It was built in 1909 as a Roman Catholic denominational school. Between 1990 and 2006 it was the only Hungarian school in the town, called Báthory István Elementary School. The old building, built in 1909, was demolished after 2006. In its place, the new building of the Báthory school was inaugurated on 26 October 2010. The building of the Hungarian State Elementary School was erected between 1894 and 1895 and is now occupied by the Romanian Eminescu Elementary School.

The house was built in 1860 as a hotel by the master tailor Andreas Drotleff, but after its completion he only set up an inn on the ground floor. Its first floor was rented by the district court from 1872, and then bought by the army for a hussar barracks, together with its park. After the hussars were transferred to Szászsebes in 1902, the building was extensively remodelled by its new owner, the Lutheran presbytery, who built apartments on the ground floor.

Today, it is the archives of St Margaret's Church, which also houses several very old bibles. Its wall is connected to the Stephan Ludwig Roth Memorial House. Stephan Ludwig Roth was born in 1796 in this former vicarage, built in 1713 on 15th century foundations. During the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848-49, Roth sided with the Habsburg oppressors and the Vlach rebels who supported them, and was executed for his treason.

It was later used as an inn and was the place where several princes of Transylvania stayed when they were passing through Medgyes. Among others, Prince Báthori Zsigmond stayed there during a country assembly. Later it was used by descendants of the Schuller family, and later as an inn.

The Hermann Oberth (1894-1989) Memorial Museum was opened in his former villa on the 100th anniversary of the physicist's birth in 1994. In front of the house, a bronze statue of a rocket was erected. Oberth was a pioneer of rocket science. Between 1941 and 1943 he worked at the Peenemünde base, where he helped develop the V-2 rocket. From 1954 he worked in the United States, working alongside his former student von Braun. He is credited with the Oberth effect, the idea of rockets and spacecraft operating with higher efficiency at higher speeds. This is why they are launched at an acceleration that humans can tolerate in order to save fuel.
