The Lutheran church of Neudorf (rom. Nou Sasesc) was built in the 14th century. It is said to have been built on the hills of the village to protect it in case of attack. The gothic church impresses with its architecture and living traditions, which have been authentically preserved over the years and invite you to visit it. In the past, the village also had its own brass band, which played at masses. Today, unfortunately, we can no longer hear them, but we can see some of the instruments that used to be used and a shelf full of books from which they took their melody.

Behind the currently displayed altar hides the previous one, which dates back to around 1790 and depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The current one was painted in 1929 and shows Blessings of the children.
The baptismal font is from 1925 and made from oak. The previous one can be seen in the second picture. It is currently in the bell tower.
The currant bell dates back to 1929. There is also evidence of the previous ones being from 1648 and 1508. There are some interesting legends around the village about the bells. According to some sources, after a devastating tatar attack, only the bell remained from the old church, but it was too big to be transported to the new church. This fact led to the melting down of the bell, which resulted in the three bells that are in the church today. However, other people say that one of the bells was brought in the 16th century and that one of the bells was sent from Canada, by former Saxons.
The first mention of an organ is from 1800.
