Summary/Abstract: The paper collects the narratives on the seizing of the Calvinist church in Miklósvár/Micloşoara and the forced confession change of the local community in the 18th century. The sources gathered show that the situation of the Calvinist of Miklósvár repeatedly gained public attention during the 18th century, through various written requests, letters, public hearings and ecclesiastical history works. These sources not only document the facts but also show how this event became part of the community’s collective memory and was later transformed, after its de-personalization, into a place of memory.
