The Orthodox Church of Vima Mare was built in 1901 by Greek-Catholic believers, replacing a wooden church, known as the "lower" church, which was taken to Maleni (Salaj). With the Communists coming to power, this church became an Orthodox church.
In the 70's the exterior and interior were restored. The iconostasis is made of icons, the royal doors are full, decorated with vases and oval medallions painted. Both wall churches in the locality were re-painted between 1971-74 by the painter Mihon Tiberiu.
The beautiful interior combines the characteristics of the two religions. The pulpit was also kept.
