Traditional Transylvanian Gates in Székelyudvarhely
While we were traveling through Transylvania, I saw many traditional Transylvanian gates in front of houses.
These gates are made of wood and are carved beautifully.
This morning I walked on the street of our hotel in Székelyudvarhely and took pictures of several of these gates.
Here is one of the biggest:
On the top, this sentence in Hungarian is carved across:
- Traveler, if you are tired on the road of life, enter through this gate with trust - If your intentions are good, you will be welcome.
And above the small door, another inscription says:
- Made with God's help by Istvan Sandor and his wife Magdolna Miklos. 1991
And here is a more modest one, with the inscription: Wine - Wheat - Peace!
While walking to photograph these gates, I saw this guy:
You don't need a lawn-mower if you have a scythe!
This other one was made in 1856:
Just near our hotel Boróka Panzió, there are two of these gates.
This will interest Mette. She once made a series of small amulets/boxes based on the round doors of Beijing.
This looks such an amazing place! I have never been and see it would be worth the trip. I love gates and fences and garden boundaries. They are the bones and structure of a place and these are so well thought out and highly decorated. Lovely indeed.
Great post

The structures of these houses keep that old touch that really makes them look good, it shows that it is a quiet and picturesque neighborhood! The photos are very nice thanks for sharing
