It was named so because of a unique mechanism in Europe, located on the church tower, which is intended to set in motion a sphere with a diameter of 1 m, in the shape of the moon, painted half in black, half in gold. This sphere moves according to the rotational movement of the Moon around the Earth and shows, by its rotation, all the phases of the Moon

This church is unique in Europe by the mechanism that indicates the phases of the month.

Biserica cu Luna (Moon Church) is a church with an astronomical clock depicting the phases of the moon, a unique feature in Europe. This name derives from the mechanism installed in the church tower in 1793. The clock and the moon are the work of George Rueppe, an innovative mechanic from Oradea. The mechanism rotating the moon is designed to make a full rotation on its axis in 28 days, thus indicating the moon phases, depending on the daily cycle marked by the clock mechanism. Inside the Moon Church you can visit a representative museum, with particularly beautiful Orthodox church-related objects.
