History
In 1547 Kopácsi István converted the town to Lutheranism and founded a college. At that time the town was still inhabited by Hungarians and Germans. In 1693, the first Lutheran wooden church was built with the support Prince Apafi Mihály of Transylvania, which was destroyed by the Jesuits in 1766. In 1805 a small wooden church was built with a tower.
The present church was built between 1911 and 1912 in the Art Nouveau style on the site of the former church, and its altarpiece was painted in 1903 by Iványi-Grünwald Béla Jr., a participant of the Nagybánya School of Painting. It depicts Christ with his disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane. The organ was made in 1886.
