REFORMED CHURCH ON MARY<br />
The Hungarian Reformed Church was named<br />
after the nearby statue of the Virgin Mary. The<br />
statue was erected in memory of the leader of the<br />
Transylvanian peasant revolt of 1514 (György<br />
Doja). The church itself was built in 1902, built in<br />
the style of English Gothic.<br />
The church so far has also great significance in<br />
the recent history of <strong>Romania</strong>, as it was the<br />
starting point of the revolution of 1989.<br />
The sermons of the pastor of the church, Laszlo<br />
Tokes, which showed the poor conditions in the<br />
country, eventually led to his transfer. Since he<br />
refused to be silent and move to another<br />
community, an attempt had been made to remove<br />
him by force.<br />
The use of violence against the pastor and the<br />
solidarity of the population eventually set the<br />
spark and started the revolution<br />
