Crematoriul Cenușa, Historic crematorium in Tineretului Park, Romania
The Cenusa Crematorium features a 200-square-meter chapel decorated with Belgian marble and two sculptures named Sorrow and Hope flanking the main staircase.
Built between 1925 and 1928 under architect Duiliu Marcu's design, this structure marked the first crematorium in a predominantly Orthodox Christian Balkan country.
The neo-eclectic architectural style incorporates Byzantine, Syrian, and Egyptian elements, reflecting diverse influences in early 20th-century Romanian architecture.
The building now functions solely as a columbarium for storing funeral urns, as cremation activities ceased in 2002 due to environmental regulation issues.
Throughout its operational period from 1928 to 2002, the facility performed approximately 60,000 cremations despite strong opposition from the Romanian Orthodox Church.
