The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.[1] The church was Greek-Catholic prior to 1948, when the nascent communist regime outlawed the church and confiscated its properties.

Important 19th-century and 20th-century figures are buried in the church cemetery, including George Bariț, Alexandru Papiu Ilarian, Ioan Rațiu and Alexandru Vaida-Voevod.
