The Wooden Bell Tower Frumoasa

The Frumoasa Bell Tower is on the official list of historical monuments in Harghita county, but we do not have the exact date when it was built. The number 1799 is carved on the Szekler gate, which could be the date of construction. It is possible, however, that the bell tower was built earlier, when the fear of intrusion imposed a central role.

The building on the Church Street has an unusual appearance among the Transylvanian relics. The bell gallery has a fir tree structure with a plank parapet and a slatted top. The open bell tower that rises from the conical shingle roof has a peculiar aspect.
