The village was of Roman Catholic religion until the 16th century, when the parishioners adopted the Unitarian religion. In 1805 they built a new church with a coffered ceiling, the foundation of which included the painting of St. John and the aghiasma vessel of the old church.

In 1936 the coffered ceiling was dismantled and replaced with a plastered one. The pulpit rests on a stone column, with a crown made in 1830 on top. In the same year, the new organ was mounted, the old one being sold to the church in Jacodu.

Following the reconstruction, the tower reached a height of 28m. At the bottom the tower has 9 battlements, and inside two bells, the old one cast in 1862 in Sighișoara. The watch was made in 1838 by a Saxon craftsman. The church is surrounded by a defensive wall.
