Pir. The Calvinist Church

The sanctuary of the medieval church is narrower than the nave, being closed with three sides of a hexagon. Over the centuries, the church suffered a lot of transformations, therefore, it lost its medieval elements. In 1811, the nave was prolonged to the west, the windows were transformed, and one of the two towers was rebuilt after being destroyed by an earthquake in 1834. The present tower was made several decades later, decorated with baroque elements, in historic style. A flat ceiling was built instead of the damaged vaults, in 1882. The furniture was made in the 19th century. There is a crypt under the edifice dating from the 17th century that is the burial place of the local aristocratic family of Ibrányi. The local tradition indicates the “red monks” as the builders of the church and, according to the same tradition, there are tunnels in the place assumed as the site of the former monastery. The church has two bells, one was made in 1664, while the other in 1965. (TSz).

Pişcolt. Biserica reformată

Biserica actuală păstrează zidurile bisericii medievale, drept dovadă putându-se invoca cele două ferestre înguste descoperite pe faţada sudică. După atacurile turceşti de la sfârşitul secolului al XVII-lea, satul a fost pustiit, iar biserica a rămas un timp nefolosită. Enoriaşii reformaţi au restaurat edificiul în anul 1730. Cutremurul din 1834 a afectat destul de grav biserica. A fost necesară construirea unui nou turn, realizat de această dată în stil romantic. In aceeaşi perioadă a fost construit un nou tavan şi s-a înlocuit mobilierul bisericii. In prima jumătate a secolului XX, sanctuarul cu închidere semicirculară a fost dărâmat, şi în locul acestuia s-a realizat o închidere dreaptă. Cele două clopote au fost realizate în 1772, respectiv 1923. (TSz).

Piskolt. Református templom

A falu középkori templomának felmenő falait őrzi még a mai épület is, amit a déli hajófalban feltárt két rézsűs ablak is bizonyít. A templomot a reformátusok 1730 után állították helyre, mivel az előző század végének török harcai során elmenekültek, az épület súlyosan megsérült, sokáig pusztán állt. Az 1834-es földrengés során súlyosan megsérült, tornyát le kellett bontani, az új torony már romantikus stílusban épült.
