Copacul Breslelor (Guilds Tree), Timisoara
The house, which once belonged to the Journeymen’s Association in Timisoara, is famous for the Guilds Tree, at the corner of the building. This tree was a tree trunk dressed in iron and fixed into the wall with a metal bar and locked with a special padlock that didn’t have a key slot. The journeymen would bring a nail that had a big head, engraved with their names and initials, and they would hammer it into the trunk. The tree trunk exposed at the corner of the building is not the original one; that one is kept at the Banat Museum.
