The Unitarian Church Avrămeşti
Church
About
In 1334, a Church is mentioned in the written sources as Sancto Abraham. The predecessor of today's building existed during the Middle Ages in a place called "The Church Grounds". The church was covered with mural paintings. It was probably built in the 13th century, and it was demolished in 1802. Today’s Unitarian
Church was built in the same place, between 1803 and 1811.
The ceiling of the new church probably comes in part (the Western) from the old one, but even that couldn’t be older than the end of the 18th century.
Perhaps the bell was contemporary with the old church. According to the capital letters, it dates back to the fourteenth century. The text say: "O REX GLORIE VENI HOW PACE." The bell is preserved today at the National Museum in Budapest.
