About

The church, built in the 17th century, is decorated with a coffered ceiling with floral motifs, and next to stands is the most graceful wooden belfry in the whole of Covasna County. From a distance, the building resembles a woman in a skirt. Its beautiful plinth of timber trusses, which supports the tower, is protected by a shingle-covered eave, above which is the bell housing, crowned by a roof, also covered with shingles, which protects the whole building. On the belfry is a bell with Renaissance decoration dating from 1773. The Szekler gates around the church are a masterpiece of folk carving and painting. In the cemetery garden you can also see an oak tree several hundred years old.

The church is open during the day, in summer until 19:00 and in winter until 16:00.
