Country House Satu Mare

Recommended object

At number 214 in the main street a nice, well-furnished country house-museum waits its visitors. It was opened in 2004. The whole courtyard, with its buildings was restored in original Sekler layout. The house, the inside collection: furniture, household appliances set the visitors back in the former habitants' everyday life.

Collecting the items was initiated by a teacher, Kovács Piroska, within the framework of a treasure-hunt for students. In the beginnings it was just a spontaneous collection. The found items were exhibited in the school. Later the collection has grown, and was moved to the current location.

The country house besides being a museum gives place for youth camps. Since 2003 gate-carving camps have been organised here, where children and interested people can learn the process and knacks of gate-carving in an authentic environment. The furniture-painting camp also takes place here, which has been organised since 2005. In the last few years both camps are organised at the same time, called “Kaláka”-Camp.
