Meseșenii de Jos, Reformed church

* The Catholic Church's construction of Meseșenii de jos locality started in 1498. The catholic bishop Geréb László, the one who owned land in Meseșenii de Jos was the church's founder. In 1567 the locality's Christians passed to reformed religion together with the church. The catholic remains, like the vestry's gothic door, tabernaculum, the vestry's arch with veins are visible even after the church's transformation. The sanctuary has two entrances.

From exterior the structure is strengthen with eight buttresses and among which the gothic lacy stoned windows on the superior side can be seen. Up until 1920 the ceiling was cassetted but after its fall was whitewashed. The pulpit built in brick is painted in oil.
