About the place

The church was built in the early 17th century, when the castle belonged to the Bethlen family. Its Renaissance door frames date from 1644 and carry the coats of arms of the patrons, Péter Bethlen and Kata Illésházy.

The church is a listed monument (code HD-II-m-A-03347) and stands on the slope below the castle, about 200 m from the entrance. Its white tower sits in the foreground of the view over the town from the castle.

Good to know

  • Look for the coat of arms above the door, with the inscription around it.
  • The castle courtyard gives the best view of the church.
  • The interior is usually open for the Sunday service.
