About

The fortified church stands on a hill in the valley of the Arcuș stream. The 13th-century church, rebuilt in the 16th century in Gothic style, had five corner towers and a bell tower; its ramparts date from the 17th century. Its south-east tower collapsed in the earthquakes of the 19th century and its bell tower was damaged. The old church was demolished in 1830 and replaced by a new one between 1830 and 1833. The present bell tower was built in 1844 and it contains one of the most beautiful sounding and heaviest (1 ton) bells in the whole of Covasna County.

An appointment is required for the visit.
