history

The earliest known documentary mention comes from August 7th, 1285, when Bishop Bartholomeus of Großwardein awarded the customs and tax income from Olazy, Neudorf and Sankt-Lorenz to the Großwardeiner chapter. In 1322 Voivode Thomas assigned the Neudorf estate to Weissenburg County , and in 1340 the Provincial Assembly of the Sibiu Chair recognized the property rights of the Apafi family residing in neighboring Malmkrog . In the course of the Transylvanian uprising of 1467, Michael Apafi von Malmkrog was expropriated by King Matthias Corvinus , but received his property back in 1468. The small, unfortified church with its single tower can be dated to the last third of the 15th century.
