Ambud - Ombod

nyugati homlokzata elé 1955-ben épült fel a neogótikus torony - fölváltva a korábbi fa haranglábat négy fiatornyos sisakjával idézi a környék régi fatornyainak formavilágát, szép arányaival jól illeszkedik a középkori templomhoz. A templom berendezéséből az orgona méltó említésre, 1899-ben, Debrecenben készült. Két harangja van, a kisebb 1924-ből, a nagyobb 2002-ből. (TSz).

Agriş. The Calvinist Church

There is no direct information on the building of the gothic church of the Agriş, but, according to its style, the edifice can be dated to the 15th century. The church became Calvinist during the next century. The sanctuary is ended with the three sides of an octagon. It has buttresses on the outsides, and a beautiful vault. Two windows are opened on the southern side of the sanctuary, and it is separated from the nave with a semicircular triumphal arch. The nave has a plane ceiling, probably it was never vaulted, because it has buttresses only on the western corners. The windows of the nave are similar to the ones from the sanctuary, they were probably built at the same time. In the arch, fragments of the mullions are preserved, their form, though, is not respecting the pointed arch frame of the windows. On the western facade, a new stone tower was built in place of the old wooden bell-tower, in 1955. The new tower built in neo-gothic style is in full harmony with the church. It has a steeple with four turrets, resembling the old wooden towers of the region. A precious element of the enteriőr is the organ, made in Debrecen, in 1899. The church has two bells, the small one was made in 1924, while the larger in 2002. (TSz).

Biserica reformată

Niy există date despre biserica medievală. In 1779, familia nobilă locală, Teleki, a construit pentru enoriaşi o biserică din lemn, care a funcţionat până în 1862.

Gradul ridicat de umiditate al terenului a determinat construirea noului edificiu de cult în altă locaţie. Lucrările, desfăşurate între 1862 şi 1864 au fost coordonate de meşterul sătmărean Schwartz şi finanţate de familiile nobiliare locale Debreczeni şi Eötvös, a căror contribuţie este amintită în inscripţia din biserică. Biserica-sală construită în stil romantic se închide printr-o absidă semicirculară. Turnul octogonal pare mic în comparaţie cu dimensiunile navei. Faţada principală este prevăzută cu ferestre circulare, iar ferestrele false situate deasupra cornişei au rol decorativ. Amvonul este construit în stil clasic. Cele două clopote au fost realizate la Timişoara, în 1924. (TSz).
