Sâncraiu village is still one of the landmarks of the Hungarian community in Transylvania. The first documentary attestation of a church dates from the 13th century. The church is a fortified one, with a defensive wall and has three entrances. In its current form, the church has been preserved since the 18th century. The 220 boxes of the ceiling were restored in 1994 and painted with motifs specific to the area.
The bell tower dates from 1762 and has three bells. The most important artifact of the church is the bell in the courtyard which was given, according to tradition, by King Matei Corvin in 1481.
