The bridge had a rich history
The cover bridge crossing the Maros River was built in 1869 by the Urmánczy family with a castle in the small town of Szeklerland to approach the estates on the other side of the river. Its specialty was provided by its dependent structure, roof structure and closed sides, which also served the purpose of providing the bridge to the land workers in a stormy time.

A few days ago, the Maroshévíz Info Portal drew attention to the deteriorated condition of the cover bridge. As it was written, the building was exemplary until 1990, but later he had to fight to save it. In 2018, there was also a collection of signatures for this purpose, which resulted in the building in 2020.
But for a year, the damage continued: unknown culprits They wanted to cut the holder beams with a chainsaw. In February this year, the left side of the bridge fell 40 centimeters, and as they wrote, unknowns began to steal the boards on the pages.
In Transylvania there were several cover bridges – the 19th century. In the 20th century, they were in fashion – but nowadays few such buildings remain. In the region, the Gheorgheni-Naszód County barrel (George Cosbuc) was renovated at the Gheorgheni-Naszód County barrel, but the latter was renovated at the cost of struggles.
