Uilacu Șimleului's reformed church was built between 1260 and 1300 as Benedictine monastery church. Built on Móric landlord's land and probabily was ordered by him. The church's interior configuration is very interesting.

In the two side walls there is a narrow corridor which can be reached through a scale. The arched windows of the corridor allow the light to enter inside church all day long.

Once the corridor surrounded the nave, during reform with vestry's demolition the corridor was discontinued. Its exact role is unknown but maybe it provided additional space for Christians. Under corridor are blank windows. Unfortunately church's frescoes are gone. Pulpit, its crown, chorus built in 1775. Is assumed that in same period casetted ceiling was built. South porch built in 1778. Tower with a square section in bottom and octagonal section on top is empty in interior.
