Our purpose
Fundația Kálnoky is a Romanian nonprofit foundation whose cultural and heritage work includes the restoration and interpretation of historic places and the presentation of museum collections. Its work helps visitors and readers encounter Transylvania’s history through buildings, objects and the stories connected with them.
The Foundation’s museum and restoration projects are based in Covasna County. Micloșoara, also known as Miklósvár, and Valea Crișului, also known as Sepsikőröspatak, are distinct places with their own histories. We use these names together to help people find and understand them.
The Foundation also supports a children’s education and inclusion programme at Valea Crișului in partnership with Serviciul de Ajutor Maltez în România. The Children & community page explains the partnership, documented historical results and the 2027 appeal.
Our activities
The Museum of Transylvanian Life grew out of a heritage project at Micloșoara. The project combined restoration with the creation of a museum and activities connected with cultural learning. At Valea Crișului, the Foundation has also undertaken a project for the rehabilitation of the castle and its historic park.
The public benefit of this work extends beyond a visit: the buildings and collections offer material for learning about architecture, domestic life, craftsmanship and the region’s layered past. Our online pages introduce this work without requiring a purchase.
