History

The church is located on the edge of the town centre, on the right side of the road to Szászsebes. Its style is typical of the Orthodox churches of the area. The church itself was built either around 1701-1705 (as the inscription stone in the sanctuary wall shows) or in 1780. The tower with the wooden balcony was built in 1873.
