Miclescu house, Historic mansion on Kiseleff Boulevard, Bucharest, Romania.
The Miclescu house is a historic mansion built in Brâncovenesc style on Kiseleff Boulevard in Bucharest. Its facade displays symmetrical proportions with ornate detailing and traditional Romanian architectural features.
Jean Miclescu, a lawyer from a Moldavian noble family, acquired and completed the residence in 1904. The house dates to a period when this architectural style was flourishing in Bucharest.
Between the World Wars, the residence drew members of prominent Romanian families who gathered here for social occasions. It served as a gathering space for people from wealthy circles in the city.
The building sits in a quiet residential area near diplomatic residences and embassies in the first district. The surroundings are walkable and offer views of the elegant architecture typical of this neighborhood.
After nationalization, Colonel Miclescu was forced to live in his own basement. In 1968, French General Charles de Gaulle visited him there, a rare moment between two notable figures.
