Initially, the locality was located on the top of the nearby hill, where the first church was built, the year of construction being unknown. The second one, built in 1484, was in the singer's current garden. Affected by landslides and fires, it was demolished in 1822.

The recovered materials were used at the third church built between 1822 and 1826. The year of construction can be seen on the tower. From the previous church were preserved the main altar arrived here from Cluj in 1793, the baptismal font and the big bell cast in 1790.

This bell has been in the Hungarian National Museum since 1916, but was brought home in the millennium. Inside the church next to the main altar are two secondary altars. The organ on the balcony was built in Toplița-Ciuc by Boda István in 1906.
