The upspring of the confessionist religion made the Ninorite church, former white monk nunnery, cease to exist. To its decay also contributed that it had been used for a granary. In 1716 it again became the church of the recovered Ninorite's. The charnel-house holds many valuable gravestones, one of them is of Iohan Haller, Transylvanian governor, who died in 1786. The church also has a valuable piece of artifact, made of bee-tree, the XVth century statue representing Maria holding Jesus, it welcomes in the entrance-hall the visitors.
