Castelul Sturdza de la Micl ă u ş eni , cunoscut  ş i sub denumirea de Palatul Sturdza, este un castel  î n stil neogotic construit  de  Gheorghe Sturza  ş i so ţ ia sa Maria,  î n satul Micl ă useni, la o distan ţă  de 2 1  km de Roman  ş i 65 km de municipiul Ia ş i.  Intre anii 1880  ş i 1904,   Gheorghe Sturza  a construit pe amplasamentul vechiului conac un frumos palat  î n stil neogotic t â rziu, fiind o copie a castelelor feudale apusene  şi  amintind de Palatul Culturii din Ia ş i, dar  ş i de Palatul Domnesc din Ruginoasa. Planurile construc ţ iei au fost realizate de arhitec ţ ii Iulius Reinecke  ş i I. Grigsberg. Influen ţ ele neogotice se reg ă sesc  î n decoratiuni cum ar fi: turnule ţ e gotice, armuri medievale, sala de manej, dictoane latine ş ti  î nscrise pe pere ţ i, turn de intrare cu pod peste  ş antul de ap ă . Castelul are multe elemente neogotice, decoraţii fanteziste, iar stemele au interpretări ale figurilor din blazonul Sturzeştilor – cavalerul în armură, leul, şarpele, crucea. In interior, castelul avea sc ă ri centrale din marmur ă  de Dalma ţ ia, mobilier din lemn de trandafir, minutios sculptat, sobe din teracot ă , por ţ elan sau faian ţă , aduse de peste hotare, parchet cu intarsii din esen ţ e de paltin, mahon, stejar  ş i abanos, confec ţi onat de me ş teri austrieci, iar plafoanele  şi  pere ţ ii interiori au fost picta ţ i  î n ulei. Castelul ad ă postea o colec ţ ie valoroas ă  de c ă r ţ i  ş i documente, de costume medievale, de arme, bijuterii, tablouri, busturi din marmur ă  de Cararra, argint ă rie, dar  ş i piese arheologice, numismatice  ş i epigrafice de mare valoare. Numai colec ţ ia de c ă r ţ i num ă ra 60.000 de exemplare, multe din ele fiind edi ţ ii princeps sau rarisime. Din p ă cate, castelul a fost grav afectat de-a lungul timpului, iar o bun ă  parte din colec ţ iile sale au fost furate, pierdute sau distruse. In 1944, Ecaterina Cantacuzino, fiica lui  Gheorghe Sturza , p ă r ă se ş te acest palat din cauza razboiului. Solda ţ ii ru ş i care s-au ad ă postit aici provo acă  mari distrugeri mobilierului  ş i colec ţ iilor. Dup ă  1947, castelul va  fi  transformat  î n depozit militar de explozibil  ş i centru de plasament pentru copii cu handicap psihic sever. Starea de degradare a acestui edificiu  î nainteaz ă , totul culmin â nd cu incendiul din 1985, când ajunge aproape o ruin ă . Castelul Sturdza de la Micl ă u ş eni a intrat  î n posesia Mitropoliei Moldovei  ş i Bucovinei care  a  reu ş it s ă  atrag ă  fonduri importante destinate restaur ă rii acestui edificiu. Lucr ă rile de restaurare sunt aproape finalizate, castelul put â nd fi vizitat.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sturdza Castle  dates from around 1752 and is a historical and secular architecture, being a copy of western feudal castles. During the time of George A. Sturza,   the son-in-law of Ion Ghica, brother of the politician D.A. Sturdza, the mansion extended  ( 1880-1904  ),  having 25 rooms and then, after the D.A. Sturzdza’s fabulous library was constituted (60,000 volumes, including many unique or rare). Also then, the water was introduced through a pipe of 1  km.   Neo-Gothic castle has many elements, fancy decorations and emblems are interpretations of figures of family crest Sturza – knight   in armor ,  lion, serpent, the cross. Around the mansion was built a large park with lake, an island and a tower, surrounded by a wall. The mansion really turned into a castle between 1880-1904, when was owned by George Sturdza. Although built in the modern era, the building presents elements of Western medieval residences, according to the plans of architects Julius Reinecke and I. Grisberg. The interior impresses through walls and ceilings painted in oil, with geometric and floral motifs, Herald lions and latin dicta. The stairs were made of marble from Dalmatia and the furniture was made of rosewood. The paintings on terracotta of the stoves are remarkable, kept until this day. During World War One, here was arranged a hospital for wounded, founded by Maria Sturdza and her daughter, heirs of the estate in Miclauseni. The estate will be visited by numerous personalities of Romanian culture, such as: musician George Enescu, who held concerts for the wounded, the historian Nicolae Iorga who studied medieval vestiges of Miclau ş eni and poet Vasile Alecsandri who has found inspiration in his visits to this area. Western cultural influences are present in the decorations, such as: Gothic towers, manege halls, medieval armors, latin dicta written on the walls, entrance tower with a bridge over the water ditch. The palace is surrounded by a beautiful bridge. During the communist regime the castle suffered serious damage due to hosting here a clinic for people with mental problems. Today, the castle and the land are in possession of the Metropolitan of Moldova, here being a monastery.

Influen ţ ele neogotice se reg ă sesc î n decoratiuni cum ar fi: turnule ţ e gotice, armuri medievale, sala de manej, dictoane latine ş ti î nscrise pe pere ţ i, turn de intrare cu pod peste ş antul de ap ă . Castelul are multe elemente neogotice, decoraţii fanteziste, iar stemele au interpretări ale figurilor din blazonul Sturzeştilor – cavalerul în armură, leul, şarpele, crucea. In interior, castelul avea sc ă ri centrale din marmur ă de Dalma ţ ia, mobilier din lemn de trandafir, minutios sculptat, sobe din teracot ă , por ţ elan sau faian ţă , aduse de peste hotare, parchet cu intarsii din esen ţ e de paltin, mahon, stejar ş i abanos, confec ţi onat de me ş teri austrieci, iar plafoanele şi pere ţ ii interiori au fost picta ţ i î n ulei. Castelul ad ă postea o colec ţ ie valoroas ă de c ă r ţ i ş i documente, de costume medievale, de arme, bijuterii, tablouri, busturi din marmur ă de Cararra, argint ă rie, dar ş i piese arheologice, numismatice ş i epigrafice de mare valoare. Numai colec ţ ia de c ă r ţ i num ă ra 60.000 de exemplare, multe din ele fiind edi ţ ii princeps sau rarisime. Din p ă cate, castelul a fost grav afectat de-a lungul timpului, iar o bun ă parte din colec ţ iile sale au fost furate, pierdute sau distruse. In 1944, Ecaterina Cantacuzino, fiica lui Gheorghe Sturza , p ă r ă se ş te acest palat din cauza razboiului. Solda ţ ii ru ş i care s-au ad ă postit aici provo acă mari distrugeri mobilierului ş i colec ţ iilor. Dup ă 1947, castelul va fi transformat î n depozit militar de explozibil ş i centru de plasament pentru copii cu handicap psihic sever. Starea de degradare a acestui edificiu î nainteaz ă , totul culmin â nd cu incendiul din 1985, când ajunge aproape o ruin ă . Castelul Sturdza de la Micl ă u ş eni a intrat î n posesia Mitropoliei Moldovei ş i Bucovinei care a reu ş it s ă atrag ă fonduri importante destinate restaur ă rii acestui edificiu. Lucr ă rile de restaurare sunt aproape finalizate, castelul put â nd fi vizitat.

Sturza, the son-in-law of Ion Ghica, brother of the politician D.A. Sturdza, the mansion extended ( 1880-1904 ), having 25 rooms and then, after the D.A. Sturzdza’s fabulous library was constituted (60,000 volumes, including many unique or rare). Also then, the water was introduced through a pipe of 1 km. Neo-Gothic castle has many elements, fancy decorations and emblems are interpretations of figures of family crest Sturza – knight in armor , lion, serpent, the cross. Around the mansion was built a large park with lake, an island and a tower, surrounded by a wall. The mansion really turned into a castle between 1880-1904, when was owned by George Sturdza. Although built in the modern era, the building presents elements of Western medieval residences, according to the plans of architects Julius Reinecke and I. Grisberg. The interior impresses through walls and ceilings painted in oil, with geometric and floral motifs, Herald lions and latin dicta. The stairs were made of marble from Dalmatia and the furniture was made of rosewood. The paintings on terracotta of the stoves are remarkable, kept until this day. During World War One, here was arranged a hospital for wounded, founded by Maria Sturdza and her daughter, heirs of the estate in Miclauseni. The estate will be visited by numerous personalities of Romanian culture, such as: musician George Enescu, who held concerts for the wounded, the historian Nicolae Iorga who studied medieval vestiges of Miclau ş eni and poet Vasile Alecsandri who has found inspiration in his visits to this area. Western cultural influences are present in the decorations, such as: Gothic towers, manege halls, medieval armors, latin dicta written on the walls, entrance tower with a bridge over the water ditch. The palace is surrounded by a beautiful bridge. During the communist regime the castle suffered serious damage due to hosting here a clinic for people with mental problems. Today, the castle and the land are in possession of the Metropolitan of Moldova, here being a monastery.
