In 1883/84 the old church of Lovnic, built in 1507, was demolished along with its simple curtain wall, as were the two defense towers in the northwest and northeast. When this church was demolished, an old wall chronicle in German language from the period 1453 to 1542 was discovered. The foundation stone for the new church was laid in 1884. It was completed in 1886 under the supervision of the master builders Johann and Karl Letz from Sighișoara. It is a spacious, light hall church with a 47-meter-high bell tower to the west. The old bell tower, also demolished in 1884, stood southeast of the church and was also the gate tower.
