During the on-site art historical research of 2016 and 2019 it was an especially important task removing numerous Romanesque, pre-1200 carvings in secondary use as building material. The (majority of) carvings we have identified most likely originated in the monastery of Dénesmonostora (Dienesmonostora), which once stood near Borosjenõ. Probably by the end of the fourteenth century, when it had disappeared from the written sources, and certainly by the sixteenth century, the monastery had been abandoned, and its remains have since disappeared. Proof of the high artistic value of these carvings was the capital depicting a siren, removed during the reconstruction of the castle in the 1870s. The owner of the castle at that time donated it to the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest, where today it is a part of the permanent collection. Some of the newly-founded capitals and other decorative architectural elements have very rare analogies in the Hungarian Romanesque architecture, but show artistic connections with the Alsace region (e.g. Sainte foy church in Sélestat). Several other medieval fragments can be dated to a period later than the twelfth century. The paper contains also a catalogue of about thirty-eight carved stone-fragments.

It’s remarcable architectural details, that were described already by art historians recall the decades of the 15 c. when the patron family of the church, the Suky family became very influential in the royal curt of Hungary. Their political status generated high quality achievements among which the carved stone details and the wall paintings of the church in Suatu. However the richly decorated vaulted ceiling of the building has been demolished in 1790, its material being used for the construction of the two porches. During the restoration works started in 2020, while working at the consolidation of the foundation several dozens of carved stone details were discovered and brought to surface. Most important of all are the richly decorated keystones, basic elements of the complex heraldry representation program of the Suky family: two types of the family coat of arms were represented among royal and papal shields. Next to several vault rib pieces even figural decoration were discovered. The analysis of the atheological finds gives a chance for a more fundamented art history interpretation of the Magyarszovát Unitarian Church.
