Fehérgyarmat, Calvinist church

"In the late Middle Ages, this settlement was a market town and was first mentioned in 1334, in the record of papal tithes. The first specific mention of the church is known from a 1436 charter. The current plan of the building is the simplest of Gothic churches: a square tower is visible in the west, east of it lies a single vessel, and a sanctuary of the same width, closed with five sides of an octagon. According to a surviving inscription on the 18th century painted, coffered ceiling, the eastern part of the building was rebuilt in 1794 from the ground up. The town was the property of the Bátori family of Ecsed at the end of the 15th century, and local tradition ascribes the building of the church to the royal judge of the realm, István Bátori. The current entrance to the tower, its upper windows, and the buttresses visible on the west corners reveal the medieval origins of the building."
