About

The church is in the center of the village, on a hill. The current Church, which was built during the Middle Age, was rebuilt several times over the centuries.

The oldest part of the church is the massive nave, which was probably built in the 13th century. A porch was later added in front of the arched entrance from the South. Near the entrance to the south, on the first layer of plaster, there is a drawing of a vault in late Gothic style. Above the Western entrance of the nave there are two handrails, with an inscription: BUILT IN 1843 ("EMELTETETT 1843").

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/
