Cantacuzino Castle

The Cantacuzino Castle stands on a quadrilateral base with an open southern side, spanning 3,148 square meters within a 3.5-hectare park in the Carpathian Mountains.

Prince Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino commissioned architect Grigore Cerchez to build this Neo-Romanian style castle, which was completed in 1911 as a summer residence.

The castle features twelve life-size paintings on Cordoba leather depicting Cantacuzino family members, alongside Murano glass windows and Italian ceramic decorations.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds and interior through guided tours from Monday to Thursday between 10:00 and 19:00, and Friday to Sunday from 10:00 to 20:00.

The castle contains a ballroom with an extensive collection of heraldic curtains representing the Cantacuzino family lineage, which traces back to Byzantine emperors.
