The Transylvanian House of Traditions Foundation (EHH) is an organization based in Târgu Mureș (Marosvásárhely), Romania, dedicated to the preservation, transmission, and revitalization of the Hungarian, Romani and Romanian folk culture of Transylvania and the Carpathian Basin. Our foundation is a strategic partner of the Hungarian Heritage House, based in Budapest. While we operate in close collaboration, we also function as an independent entity. Our headquarters is located in Târgu Mureș, with regional offices in Cluj-Napoca, Odorheiu Secuiesc, and Miercurea Ciuc. The board of directors consists of nine members, including prominent figures dedicated to safeguarding Transylvanian heritage and traditions, as well as representatives from the Sapientia Foundation. To achieve our mission, we work alongside 12 strategic partners—other non-governmental organizations that share our commitment to preserving Hungarian cultural heritage. As we implement our vision, the regional offices often initiate independent projects, while all four branches also collaborate to develop joint programs. Transylvania, a multicultural region, is a unique melting pot of Hungarian, Romanian, Romani, Saxon, and other traditions, where folk music, folk dance, and folk crafts remain a living practice to this day. Our mission is to research and document this uniquely rich tangible and intangible heritage, making it accessible to all generations using modern tools.

The breathtaking beauty of the landscape — the gleaming white salt cliffs, the swift-flowing Kis-Küküllő River descending from the snowy mountains, the towering pine forests, the Salt itself, the healing spring waters, and the Szekler legends — all offer a magical and perhaps unforgettable experience for the hundreds of thousands who visit this land. 

The village is situated on the left, really marshy bank of the river Olt. Balázs Orbán refers to the village as “lying in mud”. According to the researches, the name of the settlement derives from a Saint’s name. This idea is corroborated by the first written evidence of the village from 1332: it is mentioned as “Sancto Simon”. Our knowledge of the settlement’s history is scarce. Several field investigations performed in the 20thcentury produced findings dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, including tiled stove fragments. After the census of 1643 the village had between 102–255 inhabitants. Its Roman Catholic church was built in 1823 on a plot donated by Miklós Endes, and was dedicated to King Ladislaus in 1835. According to written evidence from the beginning of the 19th century, it was believed that the new church was built on the site of the old Saint Ladislaus chapel in 1840. Major repairs were made by Vicar János Varga. Its current chapel was built in 1891 by the Kottek family. Another important monument is the Miklós Endes Mansion, today a kindergarten, which was built in the 19th century. The most famous descendant of the family are Miklós Endes, who in 1934 wrote the history of Ciuc (Hu: Csík), Gheorgheni (Hu: Gyergyó) and Caşin (Hu: Kászon) seats until 1918, one of the best documented works about this region, and József Endes, who led a battalion fighting beside general József Bem in the 1848 revolution.

Csíkpálfalva/Păuleni Ciuc is a picturesque village located on the eastern edge of the Central Ciuc Basin, just 5 km north of Miercurea Ciuc/Csíkszereda and near the famous pilgrimage site of Csíksomlyó. Situated at an altitude of 740 meters, it serves as the administrative center for two nearby villages: Csíkdelne and Csíkcsomortán. The village has a rich tradition of local crafts, especially weaving. The famous Csík region wool rugs—colorful, patterned textiles influenced by Turkish designs—are still made here. Historically, local women also wove garments for the Franciscan monks of Csíksomlyó. Traditional clothing was handmade from hemp, flax, and wool. Men and women wore homespun garments, with specific patterns and materials indicating social rank, especially in men's stockings and outerwear. The area draws many visitors, particularly during the Pentecost pilgrimage to Csíksomlyó, a centuries-old religious tradition honoring the Virgin Mary. Local hosts offer various experiences such as horse-drawn carriage rides, visits to shepherd’s huts, folk dance nights, wildlife watching, and demonstrations of chimney cake baking and traditional rug weaving. Excellent accommodation is also available. The people of Csíkpálfalva, Csomortán, and Delne warmly welcome all guests and visitors.
