History

The small Orthodox church, still visible today, was built in 1920 in the neo-Byzantine style on the site of the former Greek Catholic church. The Greek Catholic church was built at the end of the 17th century. In Székelyudvarhely, a Greek Catholic man named Görög András settled and became rich and had a church built. In his will he left the building to the Vlach Greek Catholics of Udvarhely.
