The construction of the church may have started in the first half of the 14th century. Originally they planned a three-nave church hall, similar to the one in Igló. First the eastern part was finished with a sacristy on the north. The St George chapel was attached to the northern side of the church before 1392. This was followed by the building of the northern gate entrance hall (its vault is from the 15th century). They modified the plan in the second half of the 14th century, as a result of which the main nave and the chancel of the church were raised and vaulted. The most important memories of this period were the southern gates, which shows Praguan influence coming to Hungary through Little Poland. Its southern gate entrance hall originates from the second half of the 15th century.

the parish church of Nagyszeben
The oldest part of the church is the main chancel including a three-part transcept, a chancel with polygonal closing and a sacristy. It may have been completed by 1351. The three-nave basilica-style longitudinal house was built in the second half of the century. It had a monumental, square tower in the middle of its western facade. The three-nave entrance hall was built around the tower in the 1440s, which was called 'ferula'. The church was enlarged at the end of the 15th century too, by adding several building parts to it.
