The Reformed Church of Sântămăria Orlea, in western Romania’s Hunedoara county, is on Europa Nostra’s 2026 list of the 7 Most Endangered Heritage Sites in Europe.
One of the oldest stone churches in the region, it combines Romanesque and Gothic influences and preserves a rare sequence of unrestored mural paintings dating from 1311 to the mid-15th century.
