The Church of St. Nicholas, consecrated on the Byzantine feast of Izvorul Tămăduirii on the first Friday after Easter, is one of the few Romanian stone churches that can be dated to the 13th century. What is known is that the third layer of frescoes on the interior walls was painted in 1377 by Mihu from Crișul Alb. The walls are covered with layers of precious wall paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries. Above the north entrance there is a stone inscription from 1487, from the time of the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus, who placed the church under his protection. The church was built over a spring. Even today you can go down a few steps on the west side and drink the water.
