Moldovenești (Comuna Moldoveneşti)
Moldovenești (formerly Orfalău and Varfalău; Várfalva; Burgdorf) is a commune in Cluj County, Transylvania, Romania, 12 km southwest of Turda, in the valley of the Arieș.

Later, the land was given to free Székelys who moved here from the Saschiz region and the territory became part of Aranyos Seat.
