Inspired by a traditional Maramures gate this gate has columns the gate sheets and a side door all under one roof. The dimensions are impressive: 9,61 meter wide, 4 meter long, 7 meter high, the gate wings are 6 meter wide and the door is 1.20 meter wide [...] The twisted rope (aspiration to heights), the solar haxagon (symbol of the sun as source of light and warmth, the very symbol of life and hope for the better) and the tree of life are the central elements of the decorations on Maramures gates, which, when associated with the massive beams and poles, give the impression of ever lasting grandeur.
