History

The Unitarian parish was founded in 1872 by Daniel Gábor Sr., the ispán of Udvarhely County, in 1872. The town's Unitarian church was built between 1906 and 1908 after a long collection, according to the plans of the architect Pákei Lajos from Kolozsvár. The two sides of the main entrance are decorated with nearly life-size stone statues of Kriza János and Orbán Balázs.
