The whole “Sf. Jacob - Barătia” Catholic Church is made up of three distinct elements:

The Bărăția Church, dedicated to Saint Jacob, built in the 13th century. The original choir, built in Gothic style, on ribs, has been preserved to this day. The nave of the church has been decommissioned over time but its foundations have been updated during the restorations of the years 1963-1965. The present form of the church dates from 1760. Inside the church is the tomb of the Saxon committee Laurențiu from Câmpulung, who died in 1300.

The Bărăția Tower. The foundation and the first two levels of the bell tower were built in 1730 in place of an older tower. The last floor with a clock and a pointed roof dates from the end of the 19th century.

The Parish House dating from the 17th century.
