The Roman Catholic Church Corund
Church
About
The building date the old Roman Catholic Church is not known. It was built during the age of the Romanesque architectural style, but later, in 1533, it was transformed into a Gothic Church.
The patron of the church was St. Bartholomew. In 1568 it came into possession of the Unitarians, and only in 1716 it was given back to the Catholics. It was renovated in 1720.
Meanwhile, in 1648, the remaining Catholics used a chapel. In the 1700s they formed a common parish with the Catholics of Atia, Corund having its own priest since 1743.
A new Roman Catholic Church was started in 1910, and it was consecrated a year later in honor of the Holy Hearth of Jesus. In 2011, there were major transformations, both inside and outside. A few stones from the old Gothic church are built in the fence of this new church.
