The history of the Reformed church in Ocna de Jos begins in 1760, when a small wooden church was built in the notary's garden, so the faithful did not have to go to Ocna de Sus for services. The separation of the two congregations requested in 1775 was made only in 1803.

Construction of the current church started in autumn 1816, the first job is held on the first day of Easter 1821. The first service was held by Mr. Várhegy András, the first priest of the church. In his memory, his wife erected a tombstone near the church. The choir and pulpit were completed in 1822.

The ceiling of the church is covered with monochrome boxes. The organ was made by Ottó Rieger in Budapest in 1909. It was donated to the church by the composesorat in 1913, but damaged in World War II with the church tower. The tower was repaired after the war, but the organ only in 1958.
