The Church of the Holy Apostles Peter, Paul, and Andrew was built in 1930 and is an Orthodox church, although it was originally owned by the Greek Catholic community. The entrance to the church is decorated with a painting and the inscription "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." During World War II, the church was desecrated by soldiers of the Horthy Army and converted into a public toilet. When Transylvania returned to Romania, the church was reopened to parishioners. From 1965 onwards, the church was repeatedly looted, and the paintings and furniture were also destroyed. After the fall of the communist regime, Orthodox services resumed in the Church of Peter, Paul, and Andrew. Inside is a reliquary containing relics of the Niculitel Martyrs.
