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 32 of the Series Historic Buildings in Transylvania presents the Calvinist Church in Sfăraş, a village situated in an isolated spot of the Călata Region. According to the written sources, the present church was built in 1453 by the orders of Dénes Veres on the foundations of an earlier church, which already existed at the end of the 13^th century. In the anti-Habsburg insurrection led by Ferenc Rákóczi II, the church was devastated, its reconstruction being possible only by 1750. This was when Lőrinc Umling the Elder manufactured the church's painted furniture (coffered ceiling, a part of the gallery parapets, pulpit and soundboard).
