- In the incorporated village of Moardăș the evangelical fortified church, built in the 14th century, is a listed building. Only parts of the curtain wall can be seen today. The bell tower collapsed in 1880, so that a round tower standing in the northeast of the fortified church served as a bell tower for a while. In 1913 and 1959 the church was extensively renovated.
