I first visited Magyarvista in the summer of 1986 accompanied by G\u00e9za Pap, a Calvinist minister from Kiskapus. Established in the 13th century, the church was completed in the 15th century, whilst its belfry was built in 1760\u201372. The painted coffered ceiling and the ornamental painting on the front panels of the pews is the work of L\u0151rinc Umling and his sons, whilst the decoration of the men\u2019s choir was made by J\u00e1nos Asztalos. During work done in the nave murals were found underneath the lime layers in 1912 of which Istv\u00e1n Gr\u00f3h made excellent water-colour replicas on ten panels. World War I and its consequences delayed restoration here, the frescoes were whitewashed. In 1997 J\u00f3zsef L\u00e1ngi and Ferenc Mih\u00e1ly proposed restoring the mural and woodwork besides writing an expert\u2019s opinion. We are hereby publishing the plans of architectural survey in the hope that this work could give a new impetus to the renewal planned for a long time now in the first phase of which the restoration of the mural titled <em>St Nicholas Calms the Sea<\/em> was completed in the years 2008-2009.<\/p>\n<p>Istv\u00e1n M\u00e1nyi<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37576\" title=\"Magyarvista harangl\u00e1b, rajzok, f\u00e9nyk\u00e9pek\" src=\"http:\/\/meonlinehu.web-server.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Magyarvista-harangl\u00e1b-rajzok-f\u00e9nyk\u00e9pek.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Magyarvista-harangl\u00e1b-rajzok-f\u00e9nyk\u00e9pek.jpg 600w, https:\/\/meonline.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Magyarvista-harangl\u00e1b-rajzok-f\u00e9nyk\u00e9pek-95x150.jpg 95w, https:\/\/meonline.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Magyarvista-harangl\u00e1b-rajzok-f\u00e9nyk\u00e9pek-191x300.jpg 191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dream of mine cherished for a long time is to document a significant historic building of Transylvania based on a detailed survey carried out with my friends and colleagues for posterity.
