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.

The Frumoasa Bell Tower is on the official list of historical monuments in Harghita county, but we do not have the exact date when it was built. The number 1799 is carved on the Szekler gate, which could be the date of construction. It is possible, however, that the bell tower was built earlier, when the fear of intrusion imposed a central role.
The building on the Church Street has an unusual appearance among the Transylvanian relics. The bell gallery has a fir tree structure with a plank parapet and a slatted top. The open bell tower that rises from the conical shingle roof has a peculiar aspect.
