The Series Historic Buildings in Transylvania, launched in 1993, presents the most precious examples of Transylvanian built heritage connected to the Hungarian culture, with the purpose of drawing the general public's attention on values, heritage and our responsibilities towards these. The publications of this series are recommended especially to those who at present own or use such values, but also to those who are interested in history, architecture and the Transylvanian art.

Number 35 of the Series Historic Buildings in Transylvania presents the Calvinist Church in Sântimbru, a settlement in Alba County, located only 8 km away from Alba Iulia. The hall church with a polygonal choir, which rises on a small hill at the border of the village, is the synthesis of different periods. The nave's western segment dates from the 13^th century, the southern portal's frame being one of the earliest mediaeval carved stone elements in Transylvania. The church was rebuilt in the 15^th century in Gothic style, its frescoes dating from this same period, among which the Vir Dolorum composition in the choir should be particularly noted.
