About

On the Vârful Filtrului Hill, rising above Sânzieni, you can see the small four-foiled chapel in the distance, shouting the message of Christianity from afar. The chapel was built around 1680 by Sámuel Kálnoki in memory of King St Stephen. The thick plaster wall painting, discovered in 1995, shows St Stephen in the centre, St Ladislaus on the right and St Emeric on the left. 
Many Catholics from the area come to Vârful Filtrului, the "Șumuleu of Covasna County" for the pilgrimage on St. Stephen's Day on 20 August.
