Castle, located in 🇷🇴, on the picturesque Prahova Valley, is a statement of Romanian Revival Architecture. It was designed by the architect Grigore Cerchez for Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino (Prime Minister of Romania between 1899-1900 and 1904-1907). The castle was inaugurated in 1911 and since then it served as the summer residence of the Cantacuzino family, until 1948 when it was nationalized by the communist government and served as a sanatorium. After democracy was instated in the country, the building was returned to the legal Cantacuzino hers and since 2010 it was opened to the public as a museum.

is one of the most beautiful Romanian castles and definitely it is worth visiting. In 2022 scenes from the series “Wednesday” were filmed here.
