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.

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.

Tietoa

Nopeat faktat: Schei Gate was originally part of Brasov's medieval fortifications and served as the only entrance to the city from the south. It has retained its original Baroque appearance from 1827, although its foundations date back to the 15th century.

Kohokohdat: Se on niin kapea, että kaksi aikuista tuskin mahtuu ohittamaan toisiaan. Kapeimmassa kohdassa se on vain 111 senttimetriä leveä. Ensimmäinen kirjallinen maininta tästä kujasta on vuodelta 1650, jolloin se toimi palomiehille oikotienä pääkatujen välillä.

Sisäpiirin vinkit

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.
