The history of the church probably goes back to the Hungarian Szeklers; they were the first to settle here in the Middle Ages. The interior is made entirely of wood.

    Hiking

    The 7 meter high ring wall from the early 16th century was upgraded in the course of the 17th century with battle houses, defense towers and battlement walkways that have been preserved to this day. In more peaceful times, in the middle of the 18th century, the battlement was demolished and a covered gaden was built in its place for the villagers' granaries. The interior of the church is now plainly furnished with a coffered ceiling from 1743.
