History

The church was built between 1889-1890 on the initiative of Pastor Bocz Elek. The neo-Gothic church was designed by Alpár Ignác. Bishop Szász Ferenc consecrated it in 1890. The organ dates from 1905, donated by Szilágyi Karolina, the widow of the founding pastor. By 1939, the pulpit, the Moses chair and the pews were completed according to the plans of Debreceni László.

For the church's 100th anniversary, Molnár Dénes, a painter from Marosvásárhely, created 180 coffers, which were placed on the lower planes of the galleries and on the ceiling of the portico, depicting the coats of arms of prominent Transylvanian Reformed (Calvinist) families.
