The Protestant church was built in the 14th century. The seven-storey tower has a height of 73.34 meters, and is the tallest tower in Transylvania. From 1496 to 1796, the church served as a burial place for personalities in Sibiu. In 1853 the tombstones were dismantled and walled into the walls of the Ferula. The church is open in the summer from 10 to 18 o'clock. The rest of the year from 11am to 4pm.

Sibiu's Evangelical Parish Church on Huet Square is one of the most impressive Gothic buildings in Transylvania. It is both a cathedral and a parish church for the local Evangelical community. Its current form was rebuilt in 1520 and is based on the structure of the old Romanesque basilica from the 12th century. The interior of the church is in Gothic style, with arched vaults and tombstones on the north walls. In 1867, the church became a cathedral because the seat of the Saxon-Lutheran episcopate was moved from Biertan to Sibiu. The building is dominated by a seven-story tower with four turrets at the corners. At 74 meters high, it is the second highest church tower in Romania (after that of the Evangelical Church in Bistrița, which is one meter higher). In 1914, the large church organ, the largest organ in southeastern Europe, was installed and completely renovated in 1997.
