Năsturel Herescu family court, Stone mansion in Herăști, Romania.
The Năsturel Herescu family court features an L-shaped design with three levels, including a basement, ground floor, and first floor with mirror-image apartments.
Between 1640 and 1642, during Matei Basarab's reign, the logothete Udriște Năsturel and his brother Cazan constructed this stone residence as their summer dwelling.
The architectural ensemble incorporates elements of Viennese palace design, with the family's coat of arms displaying a two-headed crowned eagle holding a shield.
Located 30 kilometers south of Bucharest, visitors can access audio-guided tours of the mansion through a free phone service available at any time.
The mansion stands as the sole example of Romanian civil architecture built entirely from grinded stone, with materials transported by canoe from the Danube.
