History

Entz Géza puts the construction of the church in the 14th century, and it is listed in the official monument register as a 15th century church. It was renovated in 1789, as the inscription above the southern entrance indicates. In 1848 the church was destroyed by the Vlach rebels, but the congregation had it repaired. The bell dates from 1855. In 1997 it was restored, bypassing the monumental authorities, and the church interior gained its present form.
