History
A Unitarian school was built in the town in 1589, on the site of the present church. This school building was built between 1788 and 1874. In 1878 it became a 6 class state civil school for boys. With the opening of the state grammar school, primary education was provided here.
In 1918, the occupying Romanians confiscated the Hungarian grammar school, where from then on only Romanian-language education was provided. The 8-class Hungarian main grammar school was forced to move to this building, but could only function until 1922.
