The Calvin Church with Rooster (84, Motilor Street) was built according to the plans of the architect Kos Károly from Timisoara (1883-1977), in Secession style during 1913-1914. The Southern tower of the church is showing a rooster – a symbol of the light that ensures against the devil.

According to legend, the devil operates until the first song of rooster. The church, built in the way of Romanic churches, is decorated with the motifs of the Hungarian ethnographic area – Calata Valley – with ornament vault boxes painted with drawings by professor Sandor Muhits.
