It is the oldest surviving church in the town and has both inside and outside murals.
About the place
The church was built in 1742 on the site of an older one. It was painted in two stages: in 1787–1790 by unknown painters and in 1820 by Ioan Popa from Săliște. It is a listed monument, code SB-II-m-A-12538.
The tower and porch were finished by 1816. A carved oak figure of the patron saint stands at the entrance, and the narthex shows scenes from the life of St John the Baptist.
