Summary/Abstract: The present research aims to reveal some of the fragments of history that we can learn about directly or indirectly through the stones of the Reformed Church of Teiuş. It’s a history of about 800 years. The history „narrated” by ecclesiastical monuments consists not only of information of a religious nature, but also of information of a social, architectural, economic, political nature. This information is sometimes explicit, and is presented to us directly, in other cases it can only be deduced or reconstructed. Sometimes these walls, these stones are not only a physical shelter, but, in addition to connecting with divinity, also a psychological shelter, a fountain of knowledge.
