architectonic , historic and artistic value , was built and
inaugurated in 1911 at the wish of Prince Gheorghe Grigore
Cantacuzino (also known as “the Nabob”-prime minister of
Romania between 1899-1900 and 1904-1907)
The castle,built in neoromanian style,is surrounded by a
park who’s alleys take you to the grotto, cascades and
fountains.The Reception Hall houses a unique collection of
heraldry in Romania. The building made of bricks and stone
according to the plans of Grigore Cerchez , is built in a neo-
romanian style and stretches over a surface of 3148 sqm.
The decorations give the interior a strong romantic
ambiance. The stained glasses , the stucco marble , the cantilevers
, the exposed painted ceilings , the wooden , stone or forged iron
handrails ,the iron work cast in brass and richly decorated are
exquisitely crafted. The fireplaces made of white stone and
bearing polychrome mosaics complete the atmosphere of a
manorial residence , increasing the value of the building.
