Treasure Cottage

About

The Treasure Cottage is designed to transport visitors back in time, and introduce them to the little treasures of rural life.

Located in Mugeni/Bögöz (9.6 km from Odorheiu Secuiesc/Székelyudvarhely), the nearly 150-year-old house has served as a priest's lodge, a home for a wealthy family of farmers, a maternity hospital and a day care centre. A dairy and butter factory also operated here.
