There is a fortified church built in the 15th century on a ravine in the town of Inăceni. The first church was built using materials from Roman houses, and at the bottom of the triumphal arch you can see a piece of a votive altar with an inscription.
In the second part of the 15th century, the church was rebuilt, but it was burned by the Turks in 1661. When restoring the collapsed vault, the carpenter Szász András installed the coffered ceiling, painted by Muzsnai Dakó György in 1668. The most valuable element is the Unitarian slogan "One God" with Hun-Scythic characters. With the penetration of the reformed current, believers adopted the Unitarian religion. A door frame, monstrance niche and a stone lattice window in the south-east wall survive from the medieval church.
In 1743 a stone wall was built around the church, with two entrances made in 1745 and 1753, one near the tower and the other on the north side. The 31 m high tower, which houses two bells, was built between 1830 and 1833, replacing a wooden bell tower.
The small bell was cast in 1797 and the large one in 1925. Below the tower is an entrance which continues with a covered corridor to the entrance to the church. The polygonal sanctuary has five buttresses. Inside the church, where the sanctuary meets the nave, is a thick triumphal arch on which the pulpit and pulpit crown were built. The table of the Lord with the inscription was made in 1759, the crown of the pulpit in 1758, and the organ in 1848.
