The Reformed church in Făgăraș is a historic monument at Bd. Unirii 17, listed as BV-II-m-A-11691. It was built between 1712 and 1715, with the tower finished only in 1724; in 1768 the tower gained a storey and a clock. Its organ dates from around 1886, when the interior was also remodelled.

Two earlier Reformed churches in Făgăraș were destroyed, the first by Tatars in 1658 and the second by Rabutin's troops in 1704. Construction of the present church began in 1712, funded by Mihály Apafi II, Transylvanian Reformed noble families and Wallachian prince Constantin Brâncoveanu. Sources date completion to 1715, though parish records say the tower was finished only in 1724. A fire damaged the church in 1750; it was restored in 1757–1758 with support from Kata Bethlen, and in 1768 the tower gained a storey and a clock.

The church is Reformed and Hungarian-speaking, and its construction was funded by Prince Mihály Apafi II, several Transylvanian Reformed noble families and the Wallachian prince Constantin Brâncoveanu. The tower clock, added when the tower was raised in 1768, marks the time for the surrounding streets of Făgăraș.

The church stands on Bd. Unirii at number 17 in Făgăraș, in Brașov County. It is a listed historic monument under code BV-II-m-A-11691, so visits depend on the congregation's own arrangements rather than fixed tourist hours.
