Church
About
On Kossuth Lajos Street, we find a small church, formerly Greek Catholic, now used by the Orthodox community. It was built in the Neo-Bizantin style in the first half of the 20th century, in place of an older church, made of wood and stone. The three-domed Orthodox Church on Tamási Áron Street, along with the adjoining parish, was also built in the Neo-Bizantin style between 1936 and 1938.

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)
