About

Biserica, lângă care se găsesc două clădiri mai mici pe laturile de est şi vest, este înconjurată de un zid de formă neregulată cu metereze. În găurile cu formă de fereastră ale zidului din piatră au fost aşezate imagini ale scenelor din patimile lui Isus, care au fost făcute în jurul anului 1750, iar acestea se găsesc în prezent în clădirea parohiei armene.
Clădirea a fost renovată în 1889, când au fost pictate frescele de stil neo-baroc pe tavan şi geamurile.
Datorită clădirilor mici ataşate, corpul bisericii cu o singură navă şi cu altar poligonal este însufleţit şi capătă cu adevărat un stil baroc: o capelă cu trei lobi şi portic, o sacristie şi holul care este conectat cu nivelul inferior al turnului.
În privinţa aranjamentului interior al bisericii, ies în evidenţă cele patru altare valoroase cu proiectare uniformă şi amvonul care a fost construit în aceeaşi perioadă cu acestea între 1752 şi 1754.
Altarul principal, bogat în decoraţii în stil baroc, reprezintă, după numele bisericii, scena încoronării Sfintei Fecioare Maria şi înălţarea trupului Maicii Domnului. Scena principală a altarului de sud reprezintă lapidarea Sfântului Ştefan.
Cea mai valoroasă pictură a bisericii se află pe altarul din partea de nord şi a fost creată în 1752 în mănăstirea congregaţiei mekhitarienilor din Veneţia. Pictura îl reprezintă pe Sfântul Grigorie Luminătorul, care i-a convertit pe armeni la credinţa creştină, iar scena centrală reprezintă botezarea regelui Tiridat al III-lea şi a casei regale. În fundal apar imagini din legendele armeneşti.
Frescele de pe tavan reprezintă scenele încoronării Mariei şi naşterea lui Cristos, iar în penetraţiile bolţii cilindrice se pot vedea Sfinţii Părinţi ai Bisericii - Sf. Ambrozie, Sf. Grigorie cel Mare, Sf. Augustin şi Sf. Ieronim.

The oldest church of the Main Square is known as the monks' church. Built in Baroque style with two towers, the church is at the lower part of the square, on the corner of the Citadel's street. Next to the church is a Franciscan monastery. Although the foundation stone was laid in 1730, after four years the church was already used as intended. The interior, however, was finished later. The pulpit was only built in 1747, the main altar and interior walls were painted and gilded only in 1780-1781 by Veres Mátyás and his wife, Perger Krisztina. The interior of the church got its current look in 1928, after the artist Muresan Herceg Ferenc repainted it. Text and photo source: http://www.odorhei-turism.ro/

The 800-year-old church is the oldest church in the Gheorgheni basin. According to the inscription on the tower, it was built in 1213 in Romanesque style, in honor of Saint Simeon, Judas Tadeu and the Holy Martyr Margaret. The most valuable architectural part of the church is the semi-arched stone portal, specific to the Romanesque style. The first notes about the church date back a hundred years later in the papal lists, namely in the years 1332, 1933, 1934. In today's church architecture we find Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque elements. A gothic-style reconstruction took place in the second half of the 15th century, and a baroque rebuilding was made between 1766 and 1773. The main altar is built in baroque style in 1773. At the top of the altar is the picture depicting the Holy Martyr Margaret. The middle part is divided into three parts by four ionic columns. Among these columns are three statues (Virgin Mary, St. Simeon and St. Judas Tadeus) Text and photo source: https://joseni.ro/
