PHOTOS: The world’s biggest Szekler Gate inaugurated in Sokorópátka

The HUF 30 million (EUR 81 thousand) investment was financed entirely by private individuals’ donations. According to the organisers, it is now the greatest Szekler gate in the world. Check out some photos of its impressive size below.

According to kisalfold.hu, the initiative’s chief patrons were Cirill T. Hortobágyi, the abbot of Pannonhalma, and Csaba Böjte, a world-known Hungarian Franciscan monk. The inauguration of the Szekler gate took place on 3 June as the main event of a 3-day-long cultural and musical festival.

The gate and the park surrounding it were created with the help of individual donations and charity work. It now bears the title “The Gate of Sokoró”. Sokorópátka is a small village with a population slightly above 1,100 souls in the Transdanubia region, halfway between Pápa and Győr. Check the photos out below:
