The Romanian Orthodox Church, begun in 1936 in the Greek Catholic style and later continued in the Byzantine style until 1965, is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. With a cross on the dome, the building is fifty meters high. The church is sixty meters long and has an area of 550 square meters. The building was designed by Victor Smighelschi, an architect from Bucharest. The paintings, icons and linden wood sculptures on the iconostasis inside the church are noteworthy. Objects of great value and high religious significance include a silver Ark of the Covenant, made in the workshops of the Romanian Patriarchate in Bucharest, an old epitaph (Greek Catholic) and an old silver chalice.
