Map of Sovata: Catholic church

The inhabitants colonized after 1580 in Sovata were Catholics. Their church was in the place of the high school boarding school next to the cemetery. The first attestation of the Catholic community dates back to 1630. Following the reformed current, the number of Catholics fell dramatically.
Only after the arrival of the monks arrived from the Holy Land many have gone to Catholicism. Since 1734 they had a permanent priest. After the appearance of Lake Ursu and the development of the locality, the number of believers grew and began building the current church. The works lasted for 8 years, between 1870 and 1878.
In the 1980s, furniture was changed from inside. Instead of the old altar, a large cross was mounted. Survived statues. The beautifully ornate organ was made in the workshops of Angster József and sons.
