Suțu Palace

Sutu Palace is a Gothic Revival structure with eclectic architectural elements located in Bucharest and now operated as a museum. The building displays intricately carved stonework, pointed arch windows, tower-like projections, and large wrought iron gates featuring gilded sun designs.

The building was constructed between 1833 and 1835 for a wealthy merchant based on designs by Conrad Schwink and Johann Veit. It became the Bucharest Municipality Museum in 1956 and has functioned as a public institution since then.

The building bears the name of its original owner, a wealthy merchant, and reflects the status of families who lived here during the 19th century. Today visitors can see how the rooms were furnished and decorated, showing how the upper class lived in that period.

The museum is located at Bulevardul Ion C. Brătianu 2 and is open daily except Mondays, with free admission every Tuesday. Visitors should know that the interior spans multiple floors and a grand staircase is a central architectural feature.

Above a Murano mirror in the main hall sits a carved wooden medallion showing Irina Sutu, the wife of the original owner. This sculptural detail is often overlooked by visitors yet preserves a personal connection to the family who lived in the building.
