The church 

By Rev. Tamas Balazs, minister the Unitarian church in Szovat is from the Arpad's period (We don't have any certificated evidence yet). The church was ready in 1311 - the lime-burning kiln suggests the recently finished works. The church is situated on a hillside, in the middle of Lower Szovat and Upper Szovat. Later, were added halls to church: To East from building was situated a wood bell-tower. A hall, built in 1790, by Suky Laszlo protected the entrance.  On the south gable was put up a keystone with a renovated middle-aged shield of Sukys.

Inside of church were much obvious the recent and contemporary marks of intervention, which caused the damages of many significant middle-age relics.  The shuttle and the sanctuary were mat plane ceiling but were proofs, which indicated the arch from middle age keystones, wall columns, buttress.  The four wall-columns halved in eight-angle, carvings represent branches with grape leaves and the Suky's old shield.  From outside, buttresses supported just the corners.  The  inside facade - on the east side - was supported on wood-columns. There was an organ choir made from wood - originally could be the singing choir. The shuttle ceiling made from stucco and the date 1886 written with a glass-looking writing and the Sukys shield indicated a new renovation. This was the first time when the renovation was covered with congregation's donation.! The pulpit made from wood was dated from 1790. Its stairs had a carved bar and above the main edge was a handhold ball, (globe). The eight-angle pulpit looks like a chalice. From the five board of pulpit, the north, northwest, west were decorated with inscriptions: first mention to congregation's curator and minister of that time: Balint Kun and György Bako. The south and southwest boards were carved ornamental. On the north wall could be see a memorial plaque with the following inscription in Latin: The noble family's shield of Lowerzsuk Rebuilt on Suky Laszlo's expense in 1790.  I Cor. 8. 6: "yet for us there is one God. the Father from whom are all things and for whom we exist and one Lord. Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist "

By Kelemen Lajos description one of the shields belonged to king Zsigmond and the other represent the sign of Pope.  From certificated data related that the church in 1311 was mat plane ceiling. By experts the Piety and Savor frescos were from the Anjou time from XII.th century, the rest of them were from middle age, from Zsigmond time. The stone cuttings with shields on them dated the restoration and the innovation of shields. The keystone was made in 1418.  The renovation from 1790 made by Laszlo Suky disrupted the middle age picture of church but it gave a picture from Gubernium's time from the representation of transilvanian noble's church. The choir, the beautiful pulpit reflected credit for the protector of Unitarian Church, the last Suky Laszlo's supporting for church and art. His demanding and generosity could be read on memorial plaque from sanctuary. The women members of Suky family married to the Petrichevich-Horvath baron family, who inherited the family's archives among the property, which is today in Transilvanian National Museum's property.
