ers of the castle.
Archives also mention the owners of the castle and Adalbert Fay,
a close friend of Emperor Franz Joseph and the husband of Geza
Kuuns sister. The latter became the owner of the domain after
the heirless count died. As he was a specialist in the field of biol-
ogy, he enriched the mansions park with numerous species of
exotic trees.
In 1908, the Mintia domain was acquired by Horvath Toldi Rudolf.
The papers prove that he bought it from an inheritor of Geza
Kuuns wife, named Joseph, who sold it due to financial prob-
lems. The whole property was bought for 792.000 gold forints.
In addition to this, he also owned 10.000 ha of ploughland in
Mintia. Horvath Toldi Rudolf died in 1931 and was the father of a
girl and a boy. The girl inherited his great stamp collection, which
was a rarity at the time. His grandson claims that he had all the
postage stamps that had been published up to 1919, with three
exceptions. Rudolfs son, Istvan, inherited the mansion. He was
the last owner of the Mintia domain until 1945, when the Agrarian
Reform Law was adopted.
During the communist regime, the castle was put to various uses.
Up to 1989, it was named The Agronomists House. In 2007,
the castle was retroceded to Horvath-Toldi Istvans son. When he
returned to Mintia after having lived in Australia for 27 years, he
started to renovate the building, in order to bring back the castle
and the surrounding park to their former glory. The restoration
process is almost finished now.
The Mintia domain, that comprises the castle and the park, is
classed as a historical monument of national and universal im-
portance, class A

Named after its first owners, Biedermann and his wife Aurelia
(Aranka) Keller, this property was built in 1936 and, in January
1941, was occupied by Nazi authorities. That was the time when
numerous institutions took turns at managing the house. After
the withdrawal of Germans, the house was under the manage-
ment of the Jewish community, but after 1945 (when the Roma-
nian government was under communist influence), the building
was occupied, in turn, by the Ministry of Labour, the local school
of disciples, and finally by the Ministry of Education, which used
it as a vocational school for boys and girls. Back in the 50s, the
State took possession of the house, which was then nationalized.
Built in 1936, the very first owner of this property was Victor Bie-
dermann. On his 1000 sqm land, Biedermann built this incredible
9-room house, featuring a basement and an attic, equipped and
furnished at the highest standards a rich family in the interwar
period could have. Moreover, Bierdermann embellished this
property by adding a small fruit tree garden. Extremely well po-
sitioned, Biedermann House has an extraordinary view of Tmpa,
and is, at the same time, very close to the citys historical center

Un palat baroc impuntor, 6 anexe de secol XVIII-nceput de secol
XIX (curie, grajd, manej, cript, ser, ur) integrate ntr-un fost
parc dendrologic de nceput de secol XIX, reamenajat ca grdin
botanic n anii 70 i renovat de-a lungul timpului.
Dintre construciile ce compun ansamblul, prima i cea mai veche
este curia (reedin nobiliar modest), refcut din temelii n oldest is curia (modest noble residence), rebuilt from scratch in
1702 de ctre baronul Wesselnyi Istvn i de contesa Bnffy Kata.
nceputurile lucrrilor de construcie la cldirea palatului sunt
legate de cstoria baronului Wesslenyi i de stabilirea curii
nobiliare a familiei pe domeniul de la Jibou, n jurul anului 1778.
ncepnd cu aceast dat i pn la ncarcerarea baronului la
Kufstein n 1785, va fi construit corpul principal al palatului.
Bir Jzsef atribuie concepia cldirii baronului Wesslenyi, care
a dorit s-i regseasc temperamentul, gustul i ateptrile
n nfiarea castelului. n arhitectura palatului se recunoate
influena vechilor reedine nobiliare, nconjurat de fortificaii i
bastioane. Construcia corpului principal s-a ncheiat, cel mai
probabil, nainte de 1785.
Lucrrile de amploare au renceput la palatul Wesslenyi din
Jibou abia n 1796, probabil datorit apariiei arhitectului ceh
Franz Wrabetz. n perioada ederii la Jibou, Wrabetz s-a ocupat
de amenajarea interioarelor. n aceast perioad s-au comandat
numeroase piese de mobilier de la Viena i s-au pltit pictori care
s decoreze camerele. Interioarele vor fi terminate abia n jurul
anului 1800. De pictarea interioarelor s-au ocupat Franz
Neuhauser i Johann Martin Stock, doi pictori renumii n
Transilvania la acea vreme.
n 1809, cariera politic a lui Wesslenyi Mikls se ncheie, iar la
scurt timp baronul nceteaz din via.
n 1810 lucrrile de construcie i amenajare ale ansamblului
erau terminate. n tot acest timp, palatul fusese locul de popas a
numeroi artiti, att pictori i sculptori, ct i actori.
Wesslenyi Mikls este urmat de fiul su, Wesslenyi Mikls al
II-lea, care pstreaz atmosfera cultural de la palat, invitnd aici
numeroi oameni politici i scriitori contemporani, adepi ai ideilor
revoluionare de la 1848. Acesta a ntreprins diverse lucrri minore
la reedina din Jibou, pstrnd n mare parte aspectul original.
Urmtoarele intervenii asupra ansamblului se fac dup
naionalizare cnd palatul i anexele sunt refuncionalizate pentru
a servi cerinelor culturale ale noii societi: coal general,
liceu, internat, casa pionierilor, muzeul oraului i Staiunea
experimental a tinerilor naturaliti. Aceasta din urm i parcul
dendrologic au creat premisele nfiinrii grdinii botanice, a crei
amenajare a nceput n 1968, sub coordonarea profesorului Vasile
Fati.
Dup 1990, diversele funciuni au disprut, iar n 2010 n palat mai
funciona doar Clubul copiilor din Jibou. Exteriorul palatului nu a
suferit intervenii majore recente. Interiorul n schimb a fost afec-
tat, palatul fiind azi n mare parte gol. Mobila, sobele, tablourile i
obiectele decorative ce mpodobeau pn la jumtatea secolului
XX ncperile palatului s-au pierdut. Ne putem face totui o im-
presie dac privim imaginile de arhiv.
Recent, palatul i o parte din anexe au fost retrocedate
motenitorilor, dup un lung proces, fiind acum spre vnzare.
Grdina botanic nu a fost afectat de aceast decizie. Cripta
familiei Wesselnyi, grajdul i manejul au rmas n posesia Cen-
trului de Cercetri Biologice Jibou care i-a propus s le restau-
reze i s le redea circuitului turistic.

An imposing Baroque Palace, 6 annexes of the XVII - XIX cen-
tury (stables, riding stables, crypt, greenhouse, barn) that were
integrated in a dendrological park in the early XIX century, rear-
ranged in the 70s as a botanical garden and refurbished over the
time.
Among the buildings that make up the whole, the first and the
1702 by the Wesselnyi Istvan Baron and the Bnffy Kata Count-
ess. The beginnings of the Palace construction are related to
Baron Wesselnyis marriage and to the establishment of the
nobily family court to Jibou, around 1778. From that date until the
Barons incarceration at Kufstein in 1785, the main body of the
Palace would be built.
Jzsef Biro assigned the building design to Baron Wesselenyi, who
wanted to find his temperament, his taste and his expectations
in the appearance of the castle. In the Palace architecture one
can recognise the influence of the old noble families, surrounded
by fortifications and towers. The construction of the main body
was most likely completed before 1785.
The scale works resumed only in 1796, probably thanks to Czech
architect Franz Wrabetz. During his stay in Jibou, Wrabetz worked
at the interior construction. During this period they commis-
sioned many pieces of furniture in Vienna and painters were
paid to decorate the rooms. The interiors would only be finished
around 1800. The interiors were painted by Franz Neuhauser and
Johann Martin Stock, two famous painters in Transylvania at the
time.
In 1809 Mikls Wesselnyis political career is over, and shortly
after this the Baron dies.
In 1810 the construction works were completed finished. Mean-
while, the palace served as the sojourn place of many artists,
including painters, sculptors and actors.
Mikls Wesselnyi is succeeded by his son, Wesslenyi Mikls the
2nd, who preserves the cultural atmosphere of the palace, invit-
ing politicians and writers who embraced the revolutionary ideas
of 1848. He made various
minor works at the residence of Jibou,
preserving by and large the original layout.
The subsequent interventions on the domain are made after
nationalization, when the Palace and its extensions will have
another purpose, namely to serve the cultural needs of the new
society: school, high school, boarding house pioneers, city mu-
seum and experimental Stations for young naturalists. The latter
and the dendrological park made possible the future botanical
garden, whose planning began in 1968 under the guidance of
Professor Vasile Fati.
After 1990, various functions disappeared, and in 2010 it was
only the Jibou Childrens Club that functioned in the Palace. The
exterior of the palace has not undergone recent major interven-
tions. The interior, on the other hand, was affected, therefore
today the Palace is largely empty. Furniture, stoves, paintings and
decorative items that adorned the Palace until the middle of the
XX century were lost. We can still get an impression if we look at
the archival images.
Recently, the Palace and some of the extensions were returned to
the heirs, after a long process, and now they are up for sale. The
botanical garden was not affected by this decision. The Wessl-
nyi crypt, stable and playpens remained in the possession of the
Biological Research Center Jibou possesion, which aims to restore
and reintegrate them in tourism.

Familia Urbn de Monyor a fost una dintre familiile importante,
nnobilate ale aristocraiei maghiare. Vatra nobillilor Urban era
localitatea Monyord (astzi Mneru, Arad), iar primul membru
al familiei menionat n documente oficiale a fost Joseph Urbn,
n 1828. Conacul neoclasic ridicat n imand, la doar civa zeci
de km distan de Monyord, era ridicat n a doua jumtate a
secolului al XIX-lea, fiind cel mai probabil opera ctitoriceasc a
lui Gyula Urbn, tatl celui mai important membru al familiei,
i anume Peter Urbn (1870-1935). imandul reprezint pentru
istoria Transilvaniei un punct important arheologic i istoric. De
la urmele aezrilor din eneolitic, pn la prima atestare (anul
953), imandul se va afla n cercul de influen a diverse puteri
zonale sau locale, devenind n evul mediu trziu un pol economic,
prin organizarea de trguri, cunoscnd i o puternic comuni-
tate evreiasc (n 1828 erau 400 de persoane de rit ebraic). nali
dregtori, politicieni i prefeci n judeul Arad, membrii familiei
Urbn aveau s dein domeniul din imand cca. 100 de ani,
perioad n care conacul era ridicat.
Conacul, construit n a doua jumtate a secolului al XIX-lea de
ctre baronii Urbn de Monyor, este situat pe drumul naional
79, pe oseaua Arad - Oradea, la o distan de 28 kilometri de

Urbn of Monyor family was one of the important noble families
of the Hungarian aristocracy. As mentioned in official records
(1828), the first family member was Joseph Urbn, and the fam-
ilys home was in Monyord (today Mneru, Arad). The neoclas-
sical mansion in Simand (just a few kilometers from Monyord)
was built in the second half of the 19th century. The mansion
most likely belonged to Gyula Urbn, the father of the most
important family member, Peter Urbn (1870-1935). Starting with
the Eneolithic period up to the year 953 when it is mentioned
officially for the first time , and on to modern times, imand was
one of the most important places in Transylvanian history. More-
over, in the 19th century, imand was a strong economic hub. For
about 100 years, by the time the mansion was built, the domain
was owned by Urban de Monyor family members. Most of them
were dignitaries, politicians and even prefects in Arad county.
Built in the middle on the 19th century by baron Urbn Petru of
Monyor, the mansion is located on the 79th National highway,
on the road between Arad and Oradea, 28 km from Arad.
In 1994, the mansion was completely renovated, and all the origi-
nal architectural elements were preserved. The mansion provides
all the modern comfort, as it is connected to the water network,
has its own sewage and three gas central heating systems. There
is an annex to the main building, equipped with all the standard
utilities. As the yard is quite big, another house is being built,
which will be used for residential purposes. In front of the man-
depth of 700 m, which can be used to fill up the pool.

one century, being built at the order of the spouses Mihai and
Mathilde Alexandrescu, Mihai being a Wallach boyar who settled
down in Moldova at the end of the XIXth century, around 1890.
Situated at approximately 40 de km from Botoani, the property
of the family Alexandrescu was about to become not only resi-
dence, but also a source of income, the domain being extended
with hundreds of hectares. The main building was buttoned up
in 1905, the project being signed by a Venetian architect. The
estate borrows obviously from the typical architecture of those
times, Neo Romanian style, the Neo Romanian style being the
most dashing at the turn of the centuries. Notwithstanding, the
estate is marked by different decorative effects that offer a special
aspect, monumentally the use of the brick in the decoration
of the borders or of the wooden frames in the tracing of small
balconies. The heiress of the manor was the only daughter of the
Alexandrescu spouses, Yvonne (1890-1974), who had to enter in
the big Cantacuzino family, getting married with Ion Cantacuzino
(1888-1954), with whom she had a daughter, Claudina (born
1914).
After the dispossessions from the year 1948, the manor enters in
the property of the communist state, which, since 1949, has set
up in the manor from Guranda the Pneumology and Phthisiology
Sanatorium.

Castelul Cantacuzino-Ghica Deleni este unul dintre castelele
cele mai reprezentative ale Moldovei. Prima cldire din actualul

din piatr, pentru ca mai apoi, la nceput de secol XX, castelul s
fie reamenajat dup planurile arhitectului Nicolae Ghika-Budeti.

The Cantacuzino-Ghica Castle from Deleni is one of the most
representative castles of Moldova. The first building of the current
architectural ensemble was the church erected in 1669, near
a boyars court, probably the oldest in the principality. After the
marriage of Maria Cantacuzino in 1778, with Constantin Ghica,
the estate goes under the possession of Ghica-Deleni family.
Refurbishment works carried out by them gave the ensemble the
current configuration. Thus, until 1802, were executed restora-
tion and expansion works, the inner wall of stone was built, and,
afterwards, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the castle
was rearranged by architect Nicolae Ghika-Budesti.
The castle has large and bright spaces - rooms, lounges, lobbies -
arranged downstairs, first floor and basement. During the Second
World War for a period of two years, the castle was garrisoned by
Soviet troops.
After nationalization, the building hosted the cultural house of
Deleni, subsequently becoming a preventive medical unit, and still
has this use today. (RFA, MU)

Eminescu. - Constana, 16 iunie 1882.
Informaiile documentare legate de acest hotel dateaz din anul
1882 cnd Eminescu a fost gzduit ntr-o cmru de la mansarda
stabilimentului. Este de presupus c a fost construit prin anii 1880.
n vremea aceea, hotelul Carol i hotelul dAngleterre erau cele
dou locuri ale Constanei unde turitii puteau gsi gzduire. Marele
salon al Htel dAngleterre, frapant prin strlucire i elegan,
gzduia baluri caritabile i banchete oficiale la care participau
personaliti ale oraului.
n prima scrisoare a lui Eminescu ctre ctre Veronica Micle (n
cele zece zile ct a stat la malul mrii, poetul i-a trimis trei scrisori
iubitei sale) este scris citatul menionat mai sus.
Hotelul este demolat dup anul 1903. Locaia sa este ns
consemnat ntr-o harta din 1903 elaborat de Union Elektrisi-
tas - Geselschaft din Berlin, din dispoziia lui Moses Schwartz.
Acesta a preconizat posibilitatea de a redeschide fostul hotel Htel
dAngleterre sub un alt nume, ntr-un local nou ridicat dar pe
vechea locaie care prezenta multe avantaje din punct de vedere al
amplasamentului.
Pe locul vechiului hotel ridicat n anii 1880 avea s fie proiectat i
construit ncepnd cu data de 1 iunie 1906 Hotelul Regina. De
data aceasta ca proprietar al hotelului figureaz n documente un
anume Theiler. Lucrrile de construcie au fost urmrite atent de
arhitectul Daniel Renard. Hotelul avea subsol, parter, dou etaje
i mansard. Locaia dispunea de 21 de camere fiecare cu baie
proprie. Suprafaa total era de 1.650 mp i avea spre folosin
un teren propriu de 935 mp. Elegant i cu o frumoas grdin de
var, hotelul a constituit locul predilect pentru banchetele regale.
Cldirea este realizat n stil eclectic, cu elemente predominante
de Art Nouveau i structur neoclasic a faadei principale. Nu se
cunoate cu certitudine arhitectul edificiului, dar este posibil ca
acesta s fi fost Emil Goue, care a practicat n Constana n acea
perioad, ridicnd mai multe cldiri, una dintre cele mai notabile
fiind hotelul Palace. Reputatul cercettor arh.Radu Cornescu afirm
ns c localul a fost realizat de ctre arhitectul Daniel Renard, care
a ridicat i Cazinoul constnean. Construcia, dat n folosin la 18 ing was opened on January 18th, 1909, and was bought soon after
ianuarie 1909, a fost cumprat imediat dup inaugurare de Moses
Schwartz, un mai vechi antreprenor al hotelului, iar ulterior a intrat
n proprietatea frailor Trpa.
Hotelul Regina a devenit n scurt timp un loc de ntlnire al in-
telectualilor. n 1909 aici a luat fiin o societate intitulat Cer-
cul farmaceutic i o alta numit Cercul de litere, arte i sport.
Saloanele hotelului gzduiau frecvent ntlniri ale politicienilor, cum
ar fi cea dintre membrii comitetului executiv al Partidului Conserva-
monden avea un nou local unde a se putea manifesta n nceputul
efervescenei sale. Pe lng frecventele banchete aveau loc aici
eztori culturale organizate de Societatea Junimea Macedo-
Romn din Constana. Pe 17 i 18 iulie 1925, ziarele Dobrogea
Jun i Dacia anunau renovarea complet a Hotelului Regina:

Petru Vulcan amintea, n ziarul Dobrogea Jun, c, n 1944, hote-
lul i aparine lui Toma I. Trp, care l nchiriaz lui C. Niculescu.
Mai trziu, n perioada comunist, Hotelul Regina a primit de-
numirea Intim, aa cum este cunoscut i acum constnenilor.
Dup 1949, cldirea a intrat in patrimoniul Partidului Comunist i
dup o renovare produs n anii 1970, hotelul a reintrat n circuitul

Eminescu. Constana, June 16th, 1882.
Archival research on this hotel found information dated 1882, when
Mihai Eminescu was a guest here, in a small room in the attic. It is
assumed it was built in the 1880s. At that time, dAngleterre and
Carol hotels were the two places where tourists could find accom-
modation in Constana. Hotel dAngleterres Grand Salon, particu-
larly striking given its glamor and elegance, hosted charity balls
and banquets attended by the citys high-ranking officials.
The quote above was taken from his first letter to Veronica Micle
(during the ten days he spent at the seaside, Eminescu sent three
letters to his lover).
The hotel was demolished in 1903. It does however appear on a
1903 map, drawn up by Union Elektrisitas Geselschaft from Ber-
lin, commissioned by Moses Schwartz. He was envisaging the pos-
sibility of reopening the former Hotel dAngleterre under another
name in a new building erected on the same site, which was highly
advantageous in terms of positioning.
The construction of Regina Hotel started on June 1st, 1906 on the
same spot where the old hotel had been built in the 1880s. At the
time, the officially recorded owner of the hotel was a man named
Theiler. The construction works were closely supervised by archi-
tect Daniel Renard. The hotel had a basement, two floors and an
attic. It had 21 rooms, each equipped with a private bathroom. It
had a total area of 1,650 sqm, and also featured a 935 sqm-private
land. Given its elegant look and beautiful summer garden, the hotel
was the perfect place for royal banquets. The building was designed
in an eclectic style with Art Nouveau elements, and the main
facade was built in a neoclassical style. It is not fully clear who the
architect was, but it may have been Goue Emil, who was active in
Constana at the time, where he designed several buildings (one
of the most notable was the Palace Hotel). The acclaimed scientist
arh. Radu Cornescu says the building was designed by architect
Daniel Renard, who also designed the Constana Casino. The build-
the inauguration by Moses Schwartz, a hotel entrepreneur, and
later became the property of the Trpa brothers.
Regina Hotel quickly became a meeting place for intellectuals. In
1909, this is where the Pharmacy Group and Society of Letters,
Arts and Sports associations were established. The hotel lounges
housed frequent meetings of politicians, such as the members of
the executive committee of the Conservative Democratic Political
Party of Constana, and Take Ionescu, head of the party. This was
the new headquarters of the emerging effervescent socialite scene.
In addition to the frequent banquets, there were also cultural and
other social events being held here, hosted by the Macedonian
Romanian Youth Society of Constana. On July 17th and 18th,
1925, the newspapers Dobrogea Juna and Dacia announced
the complete renovation of Regina Hotel: Hear this, hot and cold
water, radiators, electricity and a telephone are being installed in
all rooms. Writer Vulcan Peter said in the newspaper Dobrogea
Juna that, in 1944, the hotel belonged to Toma I. Trpa, who later
on rented it out to C. Niculescu. Afterwards, during the commu-
nist period, Regina Hotel was called Intim, as known today to
Constana locals.
After 1949, the building became the property of the Communist
Party. After being renovated in 1970, the hotel re-entered the tour-
ist circuit.
After 1990, the building was claimed by the last owners heirs, who

Imobilul din str. Petru Rare este unul dintre edificiile ce
mbogeau n perioada interbelic amenajarea centrului eco-
nomic constnean. Foarte aproape de ceea ce era considerat
centrul oraului (istoric), i anume Piaa Ovidiu, cldirea ne este
cunoscut nc din perioada interbelic din diversele cri potale
dedicate Constanei. Avnd n vederea imaginile ce prezint n
prim-plan edificiul central al Pieei, i anume viitorul sediu al
Muzeului de Istorie i Arheologie, ridicat ntre 1911-1920, corobo-
rat cu faptul c Sinagoga Mare (Achenaz) - astzi lipit de blocul
nostru, era ridicat n 1914, nu putem data mai devreme de 1920
construcia acestuia. De altfel, stilul ce definete construcia este
definit de funcionalitate, tipic anilor 20-30 pentru o construcie
tip reedin sau pentru birouri.
Situat n centrul vechi al oraului, la intersecia strzii Petru Rare
cu strada Traian, la 100 m de piaa Ovidiu, imobilul reprezint un
simbol al Constanei, fiind la data construciei, n 1930, una dintre
cele mai nalte cldiri din Constana. Mergnd din ora ctre piaa

This building is one of the edifices that enriched the economical
center of Constana in the interwar period. Very close to Ovidiu
Square, former historical center of the city, and well-known since
the interwar period, the building was famous back then for its
frequent depictions in various postcards of Constana. Consider-
ing the images with the central square edifice, which would be-
come the next Museum of History and Archeology (built between
1911-1929), corroborated with the fact that the Great Synagogue
was built in 1914, the buildings construction could not have be-
gun before 1920. Moreover, the defining style of the construction
is given by its functionality, which is typical for a residence in the
20s or 30s.
Located in the Old Town of Constana, at the crossroads of Petru
Rare and Traian streets, only 100 m away from Ovidiu Square,
the building is one of Constanas main symbols. Back in 1930,
when it was built, Maya Office was one of the highest structures
in the city.
When going from the city center towards Ovidiu Square, as Traian
Street is the only one with vehicle access, one has no choice but
to pass in front of this building.
Available utilities: Electricity with separate counters on each floor,
gas-based heating system on each floor, aluminium radiators,
running water, sewerage, TV cable, internet, telephone, video-
intercom, multisplit air conditioning in each office (5 units per
floor).
Despite the fact that the basement is not particularly high, it
covers the buildings entire footprint. It is freshly-painted and
features floor tiles, and can therefore be used for storage, but
it is also suitable for a coffeehouse or a small, intimate bar. An
interesting fact about the basement is that it still has its original
train rail beams and brick arches.
(meeting rooms) with ceiling-mounted air conditioning systems,
one toilet and a storage room for cleaning materials.
The building has a spacious tiled staircase with wrought iron
railing, high ceilings, with an access door on each floor, generous
spaces, four offices, a central administrative office and two toi-
lets. Moreover, each floor has its own balcony which can be used
as a smoking area. The building was reinforced and rehabilitated
in 2007.

Actualul monument istoric de clasa B din str. Callatis nr. 6 ne
ntoarce n trecut ctre anul 1900, atunci cnd zona peninsular
constnean cunotea cele mai importante procese arhitec-
turale. Istoria imobilului este legat de figura arh. Grigore Cerchez,
cel care la 1898 i punea amprenta pe cel mai important edificiu
arhitectural al zonei i anume construcia Vilei uu. Terenul pe
care este ridicat cldirea din ceea ce astzi numim str. Callatis
(fost coalei) se pare c aparinuse chiar lui Grigore Cerchez,
care i i proiectase o construcie proprie, plan ntrerupt n
perioada Primului Rzboi Mondial. Proiectul era reluat un deceniu
mai trziu de arh. Cristofi Cerchez (1872-1955), cel care superviza
construcia imobilului n cursul anului 1923. Nepot al lui Grigore
Cerchez, dublu liceniat al colii de Poduri i osele din Bucureti
i al Politehnicii din Milano, Cristofi Cerchez i ctigase renumele
n cadrul arhitecturii urbane nc din 1905, prin proiectarea Vilei
Minovici, cldire reprezentativ pentru stilul naional, de influen
Mincu. Legtura lui Cerchez cu dezvoltarea Constanei nu este
ntmpltoare. Att apartenena la comunitatea armean, att de
important n perioada ante i interbelic n capitala Dobrogei, ct
i relaiile profesionale (ocupa la 1900 un post n serviciul tehnic
al municipiului Constana) l recomandau chiar pentru proiectarea
sediului Camerei de Comer i Burs n Piaa Ovidiu (rmas nefi-
nalizat). Cldirea ce astzi i poart numele, din str. Callatis nr. 6,
era proiectat n cursul anului 1923, pornind probabil de la plan-
urile schiate anterior de unchiul su. Influena maur (ancadra-
mentele plurilobate ale ferestrelor) ct i scara interioar, identic
realizat cu cea din Vila uu stau dovad a proiectului realizat n
compatibilitate cu imobilul menionat.
Blocul Cristofi Cerchez este o construcie realizat n stil eclectic
n care elementele de decoraiune tip maur sunt mbinate unui
stil general funcional, de tip englezesc. Faadele sunt lucrate n
crmid aparent pe suprafaa creia sunt armonios lucrate
ancadramentele maure ce decoreaz cadrele ferestrelor i uilor.
Ridicat pe trei niveluri, avnd un subsol funcional, cldirea a
suferit n timp diverse modificri ale funciunilor rezideniale,
majoritatea acestor schimbri survenind n urma naionalizrii din
1947 - mprirea n apartamente, desfiinarea scrii de serviciu i the service staircase was disbanded. The property is divided into
altele. Imobilul cuprinde un apartament cu 4 camere, 5 aparta-
mente cu cte 2 camere fiecare i o garsonier.
Cristofi i Valeria Cerchez, anii 1900
This historical monument takes us back to 1900, when the
peninsular area of Constana underwent its most important
architectural processes. The estates history is closely linked to
arch. Grigore Cerchez, who in 1898 left its mark on the areas
most notable architectural edifice, utu Villa. Apparently, he was
the owner of Callatis Street, and was planning to build his own
structure there, but the project was interrupted during World War
I. A decade later, the construction plans were resumed by arch.
Cristofi Cerchez (1872- 1955), Grigore Cerchezs nephew. Having
studied in Bucharest and Milan, he was well-known for a particu-
lar project he completed in 1905 the Minovici Villa.
Cerchezs connection to the development of Constana is not
accidental. He was Armenian, had strong professional ties, and
was undoubtedly the most suitable architect to work on the plans
for the construction of the Chamber of Commerce and Stock
Exchange headquarters.
Named after him, the building was designed in 1923, probably
inspired by Grigore Cerchezs plans. The Moorish art influences
and the identical design of the uu Villa and Cristofi Cerchez
buildings interior staircases are proof of his intention to built a
structure that would be fully consistent with the aforementioned
buildings style.
The Cristofi Cerchez building has an eclectic style that consists of
a combination of Moorish decorations and a general functional
English style. With a brick facade that blends harmoniously with
the Moorish-inspired window frames and doors, the three-level
building has undergone various modifications over time. Most
of them occurred after the nationalization in 1947 when, among
other changes, the building was divided into apartments and
a 4-room apartment, five 2-room apartments, a studio and a
functional basement.

Actul de natere al cldirii avndu-l ca autor pe arhitectul Grigore
Cerchez este datat 1898.
Grigore Cerchez (1850-1927) este dublu liceniat: avea i diplom
de inginer i pe cea de arhitect. Dup ce i-a terminat studiile
la Paris, a profesat la Bucureti n ambele meserii. Devine chiar
inginerul-ef al capitalei ntre 18761879. A fost unul dintre
adepii i susintorii curentului de afirmare a specificului naional
romnesc n arhitectur, dar a exersat i alte stiluri (neoclasic,
eclectic). Printre principalele cldiri avndu-l ca autor se pot enu-
mera: Facultatea de Arhitectur din Bucureti, o arip a Palatului
Cotroceni, Muzeul Antipa, Banca Naional din Brila.
Un proiect aparte se gsete la Constana Vila uu, construit
pe taluzul mrii n stil maur. Proprietarul era Mihai C. uu (1841 -
1933), descendent al unei familii de rang nalt: strbunicul su, pe
nume tot Mihai uu, a fost domn al rii Romneti i al Moldovei
(prin rotaia impus de nalta Poart), iar Constantin uu tatl
su a fost ministru de finane sub domnia lui Alexandru D. Ghica.
El nsui a fost o personalitate marcant: membru al Academiei
Romne, inginer cu studii absolvite la Paris, a deinut funcii in
Ministerul Domeniilor, apoi a urcat pe scara ierarhic ca director
general al Potelor, consilier la nalta Curte de Conturi i guver-
nator al Bncii Naionale a Romniei. Se numar printre cei mai
importani numismai i metrologi ai epocii.
Mihai uu deinea un teren ntr-o locaie de vis: promontoriul
estic al peninsulei constnene, chiar pe malul Mrii Negre, ntre
strzile coalei (astzi Callatis) i Ceres (astzi Caratzali), unde
tatl su avea o cas de lemn. Pe locul acesteia, arhitectul Grigore
Cerchez i-a ridicat o construcie care domin i acum aceast
zon, devenit astzi a Portului Tomis. Accesul la aceast cldire
era asigurat de strada Mrei (astzi Krikor Zambaccian). Fa de
proiectul iniial, Cerchez a mai fcut cteva modificri (de exem-
plu a renunat la o a doua scar care cobor la nivelul inferior i
a mai adugat i camerele servitorilor spre sud).
Impetuoasa Vil uu, avnd autorizaia de construcie datat 29 Member of the Romanian Academy, engineer who graduated in
iulie 1898, este construit pe stnca rmului rsritean al
vechiului Tomis, fiind una dintre puinele construcii n terase
construite n epoc. Zidul de sprijin care nconjoar palatul este
situat n apropiere de locul n care exista i o ieire a galeriilor
subterane construite de romani n sec. II e.n. (cu rol de alimentare
cu ap, dar i defensiv). Privirea ne este invadat de stilul maur
al cldirii ce ne poart cu gndul la Andaluzia spaniol, vestit
pentru o astfel de arhitectur.
Din pcate, n perioada 1950 1955 au avut loc unele intervenii
la cldire, cnd a fost desfiinat i sacnasiul de la etajul I partea
dinspre nord (sacnasiul era un fel de bowindow de lemn scos n
afara cldirii i avea un aer aparte). Vila uu a fost rechiziionat
de puterea comunist i a adpostit dup 1947 mai nti Casa de
Creaie, apoi Consulatul Cehoslovaciei. Dup 1989 aici a funcionat
Curtea de Apel, iar din 2011 a intrat n posesia motenitorilor, n
urma unui lung ir de procese.

MIhail C. uu (1841 - 1933)
This villa was built in 1898 by the architect Grigore Cerchez (1850
- 1927), who was also an engineer. After he completed his studies
in Paris, he worked in Bucharest as both architect and engineer.
He even became Bucharests chief engineer between 1876 and
1879. He was one of the promotors of the Romanian architectural
current, but worked in other styles as well (neoclassical, eclectic).
Some of his best works include: the Faculty of Architecture in
Bucharest, a wing of Cotroceni Palace, the Antipa Museum, the
National Bank in Brila.
He had a special project in Constana the uu villa, built by the
sea in Moorish style. The owner was Michael C. uu (1841 - 1933),
descendant of a high ranking family: his great grandfather, also
named Mihai utu, was the ruler of Wallachia and Moldavia (by
the rotation imposed by the Sublime Porte), and Constantin uu,
his father, was a former Minister of Finance under the reign of
Alexandru D. Ghica. He himself was an outstanding personality:
Paris, he held positions in the Ministry of Estates, then ascended
the hierarchical ladder as general manager of the Postal Service,
Adviser to the High Court of Accounts, and National Bank Gover-
nor. He is among the leading numismatists and metrologists of
the time.
The construction permit was released on July 29, 1898, and the
impetuous Villa uu was built on the rocky eastern shore of the
old Tomis, and was one of the few terraced structures at the time.
There is an abundance of Moorish elements that takes us straight
to Spanish Andalusia, well-known for this particular architectural
style.
The uu villa was requisitioned by the communists, and became
the headquarters of the Creation House in 1947, and was then
passed on to the Consulate of Czechoslovakia. In 2011, after a
long series of lawsuits, the Court of Appeal ruled that the villa be
returned to the rightful heirs.

Casa Laskaridis ne introduce n scrierea istoriei modernitii
Constanei, fiind omonim cu una dintre importantele fami-
lii greceti ce au contribuit la evoluia cultural i economic
a oraului-port. Comunitatea elen din Dobrogea i n spe-
cial cea din Constana era recunoscut nu doar prin mrime
(considerabil n perioada interbelic), ci poate mai ales prin
importana ei n toate domeniile publice ale unei urbe cu tendine
cosmopolite. coala greceasc, Biserica, teatrul i micile afa-
ceri portuare sau comerciale din centrul (istoric) al Constanei
au reprezentat edificii culturale i economice ce au nrdcinat
comunitatea elen n monografia oraului, reprezentanii ei fiind
deseori enumerai printre naintaii modernitii constnene.
Imobilul de pe strada Nicolae Titulescu, aadar chiar n peninsul,
n centru administrativ i economic al oraului, era ridicat n
1924, n imediata vecintate a celebrului Hotel Regina (Intim),
pentru ca, dup 1937, s se regseasc i vis-a-vis de Biserica
Romano Catolic Sf. Anton de Padova. Proprietari ai parcelei de
pmnt dintre strzile Nicolae Titulescu (fost Lascr Catargiu)
i Ovidiu au fost diveri membrii ai familiei Laskaridis. Primii doi,
fraii Iancu i Lascr, comerciani de esturi, sunt consemnai members of the family, such as brothers Iancu and Lascr,
drept primii proprietari. Cel mai probabil Lascr Laskaridis,
menionat n monografiile oraului, cu afaceri i magazine n
centrul Constanei, este acelai Lascr Laskaridis ce era la 1897-
1898 preedinte al comunitii elene. Imobilul avea s fie pstrat
n familia Laskaridis prin diverse succesiuni i moteniri, actele
imobilului consemnnd proprietari ca Dumitru Laskaridis, Spiru

nainte de naionalizarea din 1950.
Laskaridis House introduces us to Constanas modern history, as
this is the name of one of the most important Greek families that
contributed to this harbor towns cultural and economical devel-
opment. The Greek community in Dobrogea, and particularly the
one in Constana, was well-known in terms of its size (which was
considerable in the interwar period), but perhaps most notably in
terms of its influence in all public areas of this cosmopolitan city.
The Greek School, the Church, the Theater and small commercial
businesses from the historical center of Constana were cultural
and economic landmarks in the city, which helped the Greek
community put down roots here. Laskaridis House was built in
1924, right in the economic center of the city, close to Hotel Intim
(en. intimate) formerly known as Regina (en. The Queen). In
1937, right across the street, the St. Anton de Padova Ro-
man Catholic Church was built. The Laskaridis family was known
for the extensive properties it possessed in the area. Moreover,
seem to have been the first owners of the land between Nicolae
Titulescu (former Lascr Catargiu Street) and Ovidiu streets. The
same Lascr Laskaridis, who in 1897-1898 was the president
of the Greek community, may have been one of the best known
businessmen at that time. The building remained in this family,
and was owned, in turn, by different heirs such as: Dumitru Las-
karidis, Spiru (Spiridon) Laskaridis, tefan and Ianis t. Laskaridis,
the last owner before the nationalization in 1950.

de la mijlocul secolului al XVI-lea, n perioada domniei lui Mircea

anii 1640-1642, perioad n care cei doi frai Nsturel Herescu se
aflau la apogeul carierelor. Cazan ocupa mici dregtorii n capitala
rii, fiind subprefect al oraului, n timp ce fratele su, Udrite

ca reedin de var i apoi n 1883 au construit actualul palat, n

The villa, built in 1938 in a Neo-Romanian style and surrounded
by sycamore trees, was completely refurbished and extended
with a spacious dining room, a terrace and a two-car garage in
2000.
The finishing work and the interior decorations, the Art Nouveau
furniture in the salon, the high quality decorative objects and
artworks that embellish the salons imbue the property with an
elitist, yet warm and uplifting atmosphere.
The fitness and the massage rooms, along with the loft that
contains a salon, studies and bedrooms, bring a modern touch
and offer the comfort that defines a high lifestyle. The villa comes
with furniture and all the existing decorations and facilities, from
plasma TVs and fitness equipment, to decorative objects and
nineteenth or twentieth century art.
The Cotroceni area was first mentioned in official records during
the reign of Mihai Viteazul, when it was called the Vlsiei Forest.
The forest was thick and therefore served as the perfect hiding
place for those who had problems with the law.
The boyar and future prince erban Cantacuzino himself, who
ruled over the village and the forest, hid from the persecutors
sent by Prince Duca, whose throne he then intended to take over.
After he became a prince, as a sign of gratitude for the place that
saved his life and the people who sheltered him, he built a mon-
astery between 1680 and 1682 on the bank of Dmbovia River.
The monastery was named Cotroceni. The building was dam-
aged during the 1977 earthquake and was demolished in 1984.
On the present-day site of the Cotroceni Palace, Prince erban
Cantacuzino built boyar and chattel houses. The kitchen area is
still preserved today. As Cuza and King Carol I used the first palace
as a summer residence, and subsequently built the present-day
palace in 1883, military officers and politicians started moving
in its vicinity. Although several generations have inhabited the
area, Cotroceni still is a special elitist neighborhood. Poet Ion Mi-
nulescu, novelists Liviu Rebreanu and Marin Preda, academician
erban Cioculescu, sculptor Oscar Han and communist leader
Ana Pauker all lived here. Sadoveanu used to visit Cotroceni in the
evening to see the sunset from the Cotroceni hill.
The district was not destroyed by the April 1944 bombing, nor was
it ruined by Ceauescus megalomania, who never got the chance
to modernise it.
After Ceauescu finished building the satellite districts where
most citizens live today, he started demolishing historical areas.
He therefore built a city that was cost-effective, but did not have
an identity of its own. One of the few places that eluded his plans
was Cotroceni. A stroll around the present-day streets of Cotro-
nostalgia for ones childhood years. The houses are either built
in the cubist style of the 30s and 40s, or in Venetian or Art Deco
styles. The latter was particularly fashionable around 1925.
The Cotroceni area is half covered with parks, whilst 90 percent of
its streets are named after doctors. One of them is called Doctor
Joseph Lister Street, after the name of the great English surgeon
who invented antiseptics. On this street, you can find our elegant
villa, surrounded by sycamore trees that are protected by law.

interbelici ai Romniei, ci i prin modul n care a soluionat inseria
Printre fermectoarele cldiri zidite n perioada interbelic de-a
lungul bulevardului Lascr Catargiu (astzi, multe dintre ele
declarate monument), casa de la numrul 40, cu faada din
crmid aparent i o bogat i divers decoraie n piatr atrage pedestrians and makes them question its origins. Built between
privirile trectorilor i ridic semne de ntrebare cu privire la
originile sale. Construit ntre 1919 i 1925 pentru doctorul Anton
Dobrovici, imobilul reprezint unul dintre cele mai remarcabile
exemple de arhitectur rezidenial ce poart semntura profe-
sorului Duiliu Marcu, n care plastica de inspiraie neoromneasc
se mbin cu o abordare modernist a spaiului. O arhitectur
simpl, a detaliului, n care interiorul primete aceeai atenie ca
exteriorul.
Naionalizat n anii comunismului i compartimentat n mai
multe apartamente, casa a fost readus la forma iniial dup
1990. Apoi, n 2008 a fost transformat n Casa Frumoas, un
magazin multi-brand, destinat n exclusivitate vestimentaiei de
lux. Pornind de la nevoia de a oferi un fundal elegant i con-
temporan produselor expuse, dar cu respect fa de istoria
cldirii, lucrrile efectuate n perioada 2008-2009, sub at-
enta coordonare a arhitectului italian Elena Busato, se remarc
prin echilibrul obinut ntre caracteristicile originale ale casei i
elemente actuale de design. O prim i foarte important etap
a interveniilor din aceast perioad a avut n vedere renovarea
faadei, pentru care, toate elementele decorative, mpreun cu
suprafeele din crmid aparent au fost minuios curate
i tratate cu materiale de protecie de nalt calitate. n ceea
ce privete interiorul, lucrrile au vizat doar partea de finisaje,
pstrndu-se astfel compartimentarea iniial i estetica general
a casei. Pn i introducerea liftului s-a fcut fr compromisuri,
acesta amenajndu-se, cu ajutorul unei noi structuri metalice, n
locul vechilor bi, care erau dispuse pe aceeai direcie la toate
nivelurile. Identitatea interiorului, aa cum reiese i din imaginile
de epoc era dat n mare parte de elementele decorative din
lemn. Balustrade frumos sculptate, tocuri masive de ui, grinzi
cu ornamente discrete, toate au fost pstrate i recondiionate
din dorina de a pstra spiritul amenajrii semnate n urm cu
aproape un veac de Duiliu Marcu. La fel s-a ntmplat i cu
elementele de feronerie sau cu detaliile sculptate n piatr.
Oferind un rspuns noii funciuni a cldirii, toate acestea sunt
completate de un lung ir de elemente contemporane, rezultatul
fiind un remarcabil dialog ntre vechi i nou. Mozaicul strlucitor
care mbrac pardoseala holului de intrare, tapetul cu motive
vegetale din acelai spaiu sau cel care imit vitraliul din ncperea
central a parterului sunt doar cteva dintre finisajele alese cu
mult grij de autorul proiectului de reamenajare. Mobilierul casei
a fost selectat de la branduri de nalt calitate precum Cub Design,
Baxter SpA, Bussola & Ralph International. n 2011, magazinul a
fost extins prin amenajarea podului i construirea unui restaurant
n curtea dinspre strada Clopotarii Vechi - o construcie elegant,
pe structur metalic i complet vitrat, unde regsim aceeai
grij pentru detaliu. Mobilierul marca Christopher Guy, mo-
zaicul Sicis sau candelabrul Seguso susin atmosfera aristocrat
a spaiului. Proiectul de amenajare a Casei Frumoase ofer un
exemplu nu doar prin modul n care s-a recuperat i s-a pus n
valoare un monument al unuia dintre cei mai importani arhiteci
also of how the new can be skillfully and tastefully inserted into
noului pe fundalul altor vremuri.

Among the charming buildings along Lascr Catargiu Boulevard,
built during the interwar period (nowadays, many of the buildings
are declared monuments), the number 40 house, the one with
ceramic facade and various stone decorations, catches the eye of
1919 and 1925, commissioned by Doctor Anton Dobrovici, the
building is one of the most remarkable examples of residential
architecture that bears the signature of Professor Mark Duiliu,
where the neo-Romanian plastic art style is combined with a
modernist approach of the space.
A simple, yet detailed architecture, in which the interior was given
the same amount of attention as the exterior.
Dr. Dobrovicis House was restored back to its original shape after
1990, after being nationalized and divided into several apart-
ments during the Communist Era. In 2008, it was transformed
into a multi-brand luxury wear retail store called Casa Frumoasa,
i.e. the Beautiful House.
The basic trend was to showcase the merchandise in an elegant,
yet contemporary setting, while respecting, at the same time, the
history of the building. The restauration was undergone between
2008 and 2009, under the close supervision of Italian architect
Elena Busato. The highlight consists of the balance between the
houses original characteristics and the modern design elements.
A first and very important step of the restauration process was
the renovation of the facade. For this intervention, all the decora-
tive elements, together with the brick surfaces, were thoroughly
cleaned and treated with high quality protection materials.
Inside the building, the project only addressed finishes, and pre-
served the original planning and general aesthetics of the house.
Even the elevator was installed without compromising the main
structure, by using a new metal frame in the place where the old
bathrooms used to be.
As shown in the old pictures, the identity of the interior design
was closely linked to the wooden decorations. In order to keep the
buildings identity, details such as the beautifully-sculpted hand-
rails, massive door frames and discrete beam ornaments were
restored in the same style Duiuliu Marcu envisaged a century ago.
Moreover, other details, such as the carved stone, were restored
in order to complete the long series of contemporary elements
that were used in the buildings rehabilitation process, which
resulted in a remarkable dialogue between the old and the new.
The author of the interior redesign project carefully chose the
elements for the final look, ornaments such as polished mosaic
flooring, vegetal motif wallpaper or the stained glass imitation
that can be seen in the central room on the ground floor. Cub
Design, Baxter SpA, Bussola & Ralph International are just some
of the high-quality furniture supply brands.
In 2011, the store was enlarged when the attic was also converted
to a commercial space, and a restaurant was built in the Clopo-
tarii Vechi Street sector of the courtyard an elegant fully-win-
dowed structure, build on a metal frame, built with the same care
for details. The Christopher Guy furniture, Sicis mosaic and Seguso
chandelier contribute to the aristocratic feel one gets when
entering the premises. This project provides an example of how
a monument created by one of the most important architects of
Romanias interwar period can be recovered and restored, but
an age-old backround.

Istoria vilei este legat de nceputurile vieii turistice n Sinaia, n
cea de a doua parte a secolului al XIX-lea. Primul ei proprietar,
fostul valet al prinului Dimitrie Ghica, austriacul Jseph Ungarth,
era la 1870 primul hotelier al comunei Podul Neagului (Sinaia
avea s fie atestat ca ora la 1 decembrie 1874). nsrcinat
s administreze primul hotel din Sinaia, Ungarth avea s i
construiasc ulterior propria afacere, ridicnd n cursul anului
1896 vila Carola.
Fiind proprietar de hoteluri i un restaurator de mare valoare,
dup ce renun la Hotelul Caraiman, austriacul se ocup de
Vila Carola, nchiriindu-i camerele n regim de pensiune. Luxul i
confortul au reprezentat cuvintele cheie pentru toi cei care se
retrgeau la Vila Carola, austriacul tiind cum s le fac ct mai
plcut fiecare edere. Astfel, grdina vilei era ntreinut de un
grdinar, exista o trsur a pensiunii care permitea vizitatorilor s
se plimbe spre locaiile dorite, iar un cal era pus la dispoziia celor
care doreau sa nvee s clreasc.
Micul hotel poart numele fiicei lui Jseph Ungarth, Carola, cea
care avea s devin ani mai trziu soacra lui Constantin Noica.
Marele filosof se cstorea n 1934 cu Wendy Muston, fiica lui
Walter i Carola Muston, cunoscnd-o pe aceasta nc din
copilrie i curtnd-o n perioada n care acesta se afla nrolat la the daughter of Walter and Carola Muston. He had known Wendy
Sinaia (1931-1932).
Locaie select i cochet, hotelul avea s fie i locul secret de
ntlnire al amanilor Elena Lupescu i Carol, prinul motenitor.
Cei doi se cunoscuser n februarie 1925, iar vila Carola, reedina
de la acea ora a Elenei Lupescu, avea s fie locul secret de ntl-
nire.
Hotelul poart n pereii lui o istorie ncrcat, astfel descoperim
cum n 1927, camerele lui l cazau i pe cunoscutul dirijor i vio-
lonist Yehudi Menuhin. Acesta avea s petreac la vrsta de 11 ani
Constantin Noica n timpul dou luni drept oaspete al Vilei Carola, timp n care frecventa Vila
stagiului militar, Sinaia, cca. 1931-1932 Lumini, pentru leciile de vioar oferite de George Enescu.
The history of the villa is closely connected to the development
of tourism-related activities in Sinaia in the second half of the
19th century. Its first owner, the Austrian Jseph Ungarth, who
had been prince Dimitrie Ghicas valet, became in 1870 the first
hotel-keeper of the Podul Neagului town (Sinaia was only
declared a city on December 1st 1874). After managing Sinaias
first hotel, Ungarth started his own business and built the Carola
villa in 1896.
As a hotel owner and a highly-skilled restoration expert, after
quitting Caraiman hotel, the Austrian Josef Ungarth was in charge
of Villa Carola. Luxury and comfort were the key words for those
who came to Villa Carola, as the Austrian knew how to make
each stay as pleasant as possible. Thus, the villa garden was be-
ing taken care of by a gardener, there was a carriage that took
guests wherever they wanted to go, and a horse was put at the
disposal of those who wanted to learn how to ride.
The small hotel bears the name of Jseph Ungarths daughter,
Carola, who, years later, would become Constantin Noicas moth-
er-in-law. In 1934, the great philosopher married Wendy Muston,
since her childhood, and had courted her whilst he was enlisted
at Sinaia (1931-1932).
A chic and select place, the hotel also became the secret meeting
place for Elena Lupescu and Carol, the crown prince. The two had
met in February 1925, and the Carola villa, which was then Elena
Lupescus residence, served as their refuge.
The hotel has a long history in 1927, one of its guests was the
young Yehudi Menuhin, the future great conductor and violinist.
When he was eleven years old, he spent two months at the Carola
villa, during which he visited the Lumini villa in order to take
violin lessons from George Enescu.

al Grecenilor, are n vecintatea sa o salb de mnstiri, cule i

doar cteva dintre ele. Complexul istoric Mldreti din care face
parte conacul se afl la 50 de minute de Rmnicu Vlcea i 3 ore
de Bucureti (220 km). Conacul i alte 10 cldiri anexe, totaliznd
2.800 mp construii, sunt amplasae pe un teren de 21.500 mp,
mrginit de un pru i nconjurat de arbori seculari.
Dei n stare fizic bun, conacul necesit lucrri de reabilitare,
iar faptul c nu este nscris n Lista Monumentelor Istorice, face
ca aceste lucrri sa poat fi derulate fr proceduri de autorizare

Aflat n proximitatea Culei Greceanu, Conacul Greceanu este
cea mai trzie construcie din ntregul complex al Grecenilor din
comuna Mldreti. Construit n perioada n care soii Nicolae i
Olga Greceanu ncep s se ngrijeasc de proprietile vlcene,
conacul nu avea s se bucure de o existen uoar. Era finalizat
n cursul anului 1943, dup planurile arhitectului Gheorghe (Pichi)
Petracu, fiul pictorului Gheorghe Petracu, coleg de breasl i
mic i un cerdac la intrare, conacul are deschidere spre ntregul
complex, relevndu-se acum, ca i la ora ridicrii, drept un conac
de vacan i de recepie. Dup 1946, cnd soii Greceanu erau
evacuai din casa n care se refugiaser dup rzboi, conacul
din Mldreti, alturi de celelalte componente ale complexului,
intra n posesia statului comunist. Conacul, alturi de terenul
nconjurtor, avea s fie separat de Cula Greceanu i s intre n
by the Greceanu Cula to become part of I.A.S Mldreti.
Later in the 70s, the property is transferred to the Bucharest
care a funcionat pn n 2007.
Greceanu Mansion is located in northern Oltenia, Mldreti
village, Vlcea county. Only 4 km away from Horezus ceramic
center, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the mansion is
part of the historic domain of the Greceanu family, and is adja-
cent to a chain of monasteries, kulas and natural attractions.
Neighboring the Maldr-Greceanu Kula, which is also included in
the Artmark Historical Estate portfolio, the mansion is surrounded
by numerous tourist and cultural attractions: Kula and Memo-
rial House of I.G. Duca, Romanian Prime Minister in the inter-
war period, Greceanus Church, Maldr Mansion, National Park
Buila-Vnturaria, to mention but a few. The mansion belongs
to the Mldreti historical complex, which is located at about a
50-minute drive from Rmnicu Vlcea, and a 3-hour drive from
Bucharest (220 km). The mansion and the other 10 annexes,
totaling 2,800 square meters, are located on a 21,500 square
meter-property, which is bordered by a water stream and sur-
rounded by secular trees. Although in good condition, the man-
sion needs restoration works. However, since it is not included on
the List of Historical Monuments, the process can be undertaken
without complicated authorization procedures and at a relatively
low cost. As this is one of the most beautiful tourist areas in
Romania, the mansion and the entire area make for an excellent
holiday destination and can, at the same time, host tourist, social
or medical activities.
Located close to Greceanu Cula, Greceanu Mansion is the lat-
est construction of the whole Domain of Greceanu family from
Mldreti Parish. Built in the period when the spouses Nicolae
and Olga Greceanu began to care for their properties from Vlcea,
the mansion would not enjoy an easy existence. It was completed
in 1943 by architect Gheorghe (Pichi) Petracu, the son of famous
painter Gheorghe Petracu, colleague and close friend of Olga
Greceanu.Built on two levels, with a small cellar and an entrance
porch, the mansion opens up to the entire complex, revealing it-
self as a vacation house. After 1946, when the Greceanu spouses
were evicted from the house, where they had taken refuge after
the war, the Mldreti Manor, along with other components of
the complex, were taken into possession by the communist state.
The Mansion along with the surrounding land had to be separated

Valley 21 d o nou dimensiune luxului. Nu n sensul de
extravagan, ci de calitate n esen.
Cumprtorul face parte din noua generaie care deine controlul
n zilele noastre asupra a ceea ce se ntmpl n secolul XXI, cu
influen i cu mintea, creativitatea i motivaia necesare pentru
a face diferena. Acesta nelege diferit ideea de apartenen n
cadrul unei comuniti, spre deosebire de individualism, care
a dominat din ce n ce mai mult lumea n ultimele decenii; este
vorba de un sentiment al responsabilitii comune n societatea
n care triete, n cadrul familiei pe care o ngrijete i o iubete.
Noua responsabilitate este fa de oameni, fa de natur, un
sentiment acut de contientizare a faptului c trim ntr-un
echilibru ecologic delicat pe planeta noastr mam, Pmntul.
Minile sclipitoare care produc idei colosale triesc ntr-un corp
sntos, cu un suflet mpcat. Acetia triesc viei de o cali-
tate superioar i neleg esena cuvntului calitate. Calitatea
ndeplinete un scop care hrnete n mod esenial mintea pentru
trup i suflet; aceste caliti pot fi considerate un lux, ns nu i
pierd niciodat sensul.
Valley 21 este un spaiu comun, mpreun cu oameni care
mprtesc aceeai viziune, indiferent dac acetia i doresc
s se retrag n casele lor cu familiile sau s fac parte dintr-o
comunitate de proprietari pentru a petrece timp mpreun sau
pentru a deine n comun o parte dintr-o frm de rai.
Valley 21 reprezint legtura simbolic dintre viaa agitat din
secolul XXI i esena vieii ntr-o comunitare pastoral care
i are rdcinile n natura pur. Poi lua masa la standarde
internaionale n Braov, iar apoi, pentru puin timp, te poi afla
printre lupi, fcnd parte, n acelai timp, dintr-o comunitate
delicat care a supravieuit secolelor de schimbri, care a pstrat
valorile ce au disprut n alte zone, prin intermediul comunitii
din Vama Buzului.
Valley21 gives a new meaning to luxury. Luxury not as in ex-
travagance, but luxury as in living the essence of qualities.
The buyer is part of the new generation that is in control of the
21st century, holding influential positions and has the mind,
creativity and drive to make a difference. He has a new sense
of communality away from the individuality that has increas-
ingly reigned the world over the last decades, a sense of shared
responsibility within the society he lives in, within the family he
fosters and loves. The new responsibility is towards people, is
towards nature, an acute sense of awareness that we are living in
a delicate ecological balance on our mother ship, the Earth. Great
minds that produce great ideas live in a healthy body, live with a
soul that is at peace with itself. They live quality lives and under-
stand the essence of the word quality. Quality fulfills a purpose
that feeds the mind, the body and the soul; these qualities can be
regarded as a luxury, but qualities are never senseless. Valley21
holds the values that they live for.
Valley21 is a shared space with a community of like-minded
people, where they can seek privacy in their homes with their
family, or take part in the community of owners to share good
time or share common governance over the space, Valley21. Val-
ley21 is the symbolic connection between the frantic 21st century
life and the essence of life in a pastoral community rooted in
pristine undisturbed nature. One can dine international cuisine in
Braov, be amongst the wolves a short while later, at the same
time being part of a delicate community that survived centuries
of change; that has preserved values that have become extinct
elsewhere, through the community of Vama Buzului.
