Attractions
- The fortified church with the fortified church , completed by the Schäßburg master mason Stephanus Ungar from 1500–1524 and dedicated to the patron saint of the village St. Tobias , who also gave the place its name, is a listed building. The bell tower, which collapsed in 1725, was replaced by a smaller bell carrier in 1902. The middle of the three bells was cast in 1491. The only access to the fortified floor of the hall church is an attached turret with a spiral staircase in the north-west corner. The seven meter high walls of the fortified church were demolished in 1901. The Tobsdorfer altar , a triptych with images of Festtag- and weekdays side, 1720 by Pastor John Welther from Maldorf ( Viişoara , Kr. Mures donated) and preserved in its original form, was established in 1999 in the Margarethenkirche brought to Mediaş to him from art theft and destruction to preserve. There is no evidence that the year 1522 in an altarpiece is also the year of construction. Since there have been no services in the church since 1991, the church organ built in 1731 is threatened with decay and should be brought to the Margarethenkirche in Medias for restoration in 2010.
