architect ION D. BERINDEY in French Baroque/Art Nouveau style. Today it houses
the George Enescu museum. Built in 1901-1903 for Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino,

inherited by his son Mihail G. Cantacuzino, who died prematurely in 1929. Mihail's wife

1955, his wife stated in her will that the palace would host a museum dedicated to the
artist. In 1956, 'The National Museum George Enescu' was established.
