The most impressive Baroque building in the center of the town, the church
was built by the Jesuits between 1728-1764, following the design of
architect Scherzer Valentinus and under the guidance of architect Konrad H
The plan and the main front, facing Trandafirilor square, resemble the
Jesuits’ church in Cluj, work of the same architect. After the
altar was erected (in 1755) and painted by the famous Austrian painter
Michelangelo Unterberger – “Jesus’Baptism” brought in 1731 by the
Jesuits -, the main altar works were finished. The pulpit was set in 1757.
