The church itself was built in gothic architecture in the 14th century. Its tall choir, is one of the things that make it particular. It's almost as tall as the bell tower / donjon. In case of an attack or siege in the renaissance, the church could have been defended on every single front. It's known as one of the most characteristic churchcastles in the region.  More information can be found on Agramonia.

The Romanesque basilica was built in the 13th century. Although most parts of the church were replaced over the centuries, there is still some reminiscence of this long for-gone time, like the western entrance, which is still in original shape. The bell tower was built alongside the church, but higher and improved to a donjon in the 1500s. Today, the massive bell tower / donjon looks a bit out of proportion compared to the church itself.  More information can be found on Agramonia.

Since the Transylvanian Saxons were granted the territory of today's southern Transylvania by the Hungarian King Géza II in the 12th century, they were exposed to hostile attacks from the east. To protect the villagers from these dangers, the churches were fortified over the centuries. The uniqueness of fortified churches lies in the fact that, unlike medieval castles, they did not belong to the nobility but served as communal projects for the defense and protection of the village community. Even today, the diverse fortifications of these churches stand as impressive witnesses of that era.
