Culture

The present-day Romanian Orthodox Church Biserica Ortodoxă Română din Micherechi in Méhkerék is designed in the late Classicist style, is located on Kossuth Street, and is dedicated to the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel. Construction began in 1836 after the previous church burned down, and it was completed in 1854.

The dances from Méhkerék belong to the westernmost branch of Romanian dance culture, the Bihari dance dialect, and are still known and practiced by all generations thanks to their transmission, local dance opportunities, and dance instruction in schools. The ensemble performs choreographies based on the five Romanian dances from Méhkerék: mînînţelu, ardelenescu, chimpinescu, bătuta, and duba.
