Chapel Sanzieni

The chapel built in honor of the founding father of the nation is not only a monument, but a priceless treasure rising as a sentry above the Háromszék basin. The chapel, with its delineation in the shape of a four leaved clover and the square bell are one of the region’s most scenic monuments.

The exact date of the raising of the chapel is unknown, supposedly its foundations were built in medieval times. The Kálnoky, Apor and Mikes families, who commissioned the erection of the chapel had declared it a place of worship early in the 18^th century, and had its walls decorated with murals depicting the sanctified kings of the Árpád-house and those of the bishops of the nation. Recently a fraction of said murals has been uncovered.

Also mentionable is the chapel’s extraordinarily beautiful carved-wood door-frame, made in the 17^th century.
