Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the formation of ethnic and sacral space in a recently established village (Andrássytelep) near Luduș, focusing on the following problems: the ethnic structure of the colony, the formation of the ethnic space, Romanian-Hungarian relationships, Protestant-Catholic coexistence. Luduș-Roșiori is a colony established in the beginning of the 20th century. Its inhabitants were mostly Catholics nevertheless the first church built in the colony was Protestant. Throughout the centuries the proportions of these denominations in the village’s population changed often and that led to different conflicts, which manifested particularly on the sacral level.
