The Evangelical church was built in the XIII century. It had a square loft, a semi-circle apsis, and no tower.

In 1423 the hight of the nave was increased. Originaly the church was surrounded by two defense rings, only the interior one is still standing. The interior of the church has gone through modifications, the list is inscriptioned above the arch.

The modifications up to 1989, and the attacks on the church are related in details. In 1599 it was attacked by Voivode Michael, in 1659 by Rakoczi. The tower was raised in 1807. The result is a very beautiful Saxon church. The unmarried boys and those who have been in the army sit on the two sided of the painted tiled loft. The altar was built in 1742 and organ in 1911.
