On July 5, 2019, a fire broke out in this new church, which could only be extinguished after about 13 hours. The fire was probably caused by a short circuit in an electrical conductor in the attic. The fire destroyed the wooden structure of the roof, about half of it collapsed. Fortunately, the interior was hardly affected.

The new church with the temple of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul is dedicated to the "Solemnity of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos" of the Orthodox Church, which roughly corresponds to the Roman Catholic feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It was built during the term of office of the Bishop of Alba-Iulia, Emilian Birdaș, and opened in 1992. The church, which is worth seeing, is also called the "Cathedral of the Apuseni Mountains". Its open pridvor is reminiscent of a veranda. Its entrance side is decorated with a depiction of the Last Judgement.
