Best in the morning around 9:00, when the sun shines directly on the gate facade and creates perfect light for photographs. You will also avoid the crowds of tourists who pour in here in the afternoon.

Eelarvenõuanded

Viewing the gate from the outside is free. If you want to see the interior and the exhibition about the history of the fortifications, admission costs 10 lei for adults; we recommend a combined ticket with the nearby Black Church for 25 lei.

Teave

Kiired faktid: Schei värav oli algselt osa Brașovi keskaegsest kindlustusest ja oli ainus sissepääs linna lõunast. See on säilitanud oma algse barokkvälimuse aastast 1827, kuigi selle vundamendid ulatuvad 15. sajandisse.

Esiletõstmised: Värava tipus pange tähele kivist vappi kirjaga „Salva Guarda" - see oli privilegeeritud sissepääs, millest said tollimaksuta läbida ainult Transilvaania saksid. Kui sealt sõitsid läbi kaupmehed soolakoormatega vankritel, pidid nad maksma tolli, mida mõõdeti rataste laiuse järgi.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Stop at the information board on the left side of the gate. The original drawbridge system, which no longer exists, is drawn on it.
Photograph the gate from the lower part of the street, and you will capture the entire arch together with the surrounding houses without any distracting elements.
Notice the small stone balls walled into the sides of the gate; they served as protection against cannonballs.
Avoid visiting at noon, when cars drive through here and you are not able to photograph the gate in peace.
