Nothing, just something decorating, it is regular wall behind the "door", just two pieces of wood , one on each side of wall. Maybe it "should" go with house style?
Is it worth to keep it as "decorating"? It does not really bother me, but I don't feel it is good decorating.

If you do not like it, just get rid of it.
You get to decorate your home the way you will enjoy it.

When you say "2 pieces of wood, one on each side of wall" do you mean when you swing the 2 doors towards each other do they meet in the middle of the doorway? If so, those are referred to as saloon doors. Ever see those in the old westerns on entries to saloons?
If so, then they are just used to divide the kitchen (or hide a messy kitchen) from a dining area or other room. When you have the doors opened (or swung away from the wall to meet each other) they should swing both ways when you are coming and going from the kitchen.
If you don't like them then just remove them. I have not seen those in a home in years! You still see them a lot in restaurant kitchens.

That is not an entry door. Apparently it is just a decorative item attached to the wall with nothing behind it but wall.

How do you know that it doesn't swing away from the wall? OP said there is one on both walls. It also has a pull thingy on it as if it is a saloon type door. And yes, I can see that there is nothing behind it but wall in that photo but that is only because it is in an open position if it is a saloon type door.
I just didn't see enough info from OP to be sure. Otherwise I have never seen any decorative pieces like that that are just affixed to the wall(s) on adjacent walls. Oh well....

I thought that they were. So I am curious, now that you know what they are, does that change your mind on whether to keep them or not to somewhat divide off the kitchen from other rooms?
