About

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)

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"). Text and photo source: http://virtualisszekelyfold.ro/

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 historic church in the center of the village, at the beginning of the Church Street, was built at the end of the XIV century, in place of its gothic predecessor. The church was surrounded by an oval fortress wall, reinforced by 6 protective towers, the entrance being under the medieval tower, built separately from the church. Today we can find only the gate tower and the ruins of the fortress wall, built in the 17th century. The new church was built on a north-south axis, with the following inscription on the façade: "It was built in the years 1888-1889, on the site of the church built in the 12th century and modified in the 16th century." The Gothic church is decorated with medieval murals, important in the history of art. Text and photo source: http://virtualisszekelyfold.ro/

Csíkfalvi Csók János built the beautiful bell tower of the Reformed Church in Șiclod, Atid commune, in 1784. The Bell Tower, made from massive oak wood is located in the Southwestern corner of the hilltop cemetery. Unusually, it is placed on a carefully carved pedestal from building stones, set on land. The grid structure is connected to a massive three-level beam. The upper parts above the pillars are richly carved with three different panoramas.
