Wooden gates, known locally as szekely gates, are the main originality of the traditional Transylvanian architecture. These gates magnify the entrances to village houses, cemeteries and churches. Their function is to welcome visitors, to show devotion to their own people, and status to the owner. Many of these gates are still built nowadays because villagers still give great importance to the outside. One can be proud to have had built a beautiful and strong gate in front of his house.
