1849-1870

1849 – Romanian villagers from the neighbour settlement Valisoara organise a revenge attack over Coltesti. They think on a  strategic plan: they set on fire all the haystacks and weath fields around Coltesti, kill all the hungarian messengers sent for negociation, vandalise all the houses in the village, steal posesions and carry them by carriages.

The whole village of Coltesti is destroied.

1870 – A big fire burns down all the houses from the Upper Street in the main square of Rimetea.

The newly built houses made out of stone will become the famous ”white houses” from Rimetea.
