Moardas Fortified Church

The hall church dedicated to Saint Nicholas was built around 1400. The choir with a flat, polygonal apse has two cross-ribbed-vaulted bays on consoles, which display leaf and grape ornamentation and sculpture in the form of pinnacles and Gothic gables. The church hall has three sail vaults. The accurate architectural sculpture of the keystones, of the consoles, of the tracery and of the jambs is quite impressive in this relatively isolated village. The church is surrounded by an irregularly polygonal enclosing wall. In the northeast corner of the ensemble, a round tower stands in front of the defence wall. The bell tower in the western part of the church collapsed in 1880.
