Sanislău - The Calvinist Church

The orientation, the structure of the ground plan, the polygonal sanctuary of the church and the buttresses suggest that the building is medieval. The hall-church with flat ceiling is fit with a second entrance on the southern facade, an additional argument to support the medieval origin of the church. The furniture of the edifice was made in classic style in the 19th century. The building was seriously damaged by an earthquake in 1834. The present tower was made after the restoration. The consolidation of the tower was realised in a special way, building cylindrical columns instead of buttresses. The church has three bells, two were made in 1926, while the third in 1815. (TSz).
