History

Construction began in 1835, but they soon ran out of money. The construction continued from 1840 to 1843 and the building was completed. The first service was held in 1844. By 1853 the church was finished, without towers. The furnishings were then completely finished. The towers were built in 1870-71. The plans were made by Szász József, the chief architect of Bihar County.
