Reformed Fortified Church, 16th Century

The reformed church in New Turda was raised at the beginning of the 16th century on the foundation of another Catholic church, mentioned in documents from the 14th century.

The church was built by the same group that constructed the Catholic church in the city center. On the south wall you can find the inscription 1504, the year the church was completed.

A four to five meter high fortified wall was constructed around the church that exists to this day. The entrance is found below a tower on the southern side of the fortification.

Another semicircular bastion guards the western side. On the northwest part of the wall you can find the inscription: RENOVATUM ANNO 1740 TEMPORE CURATORIS KOMIVES.
