Cantacuzino Castle
Cantacuzino Castle is situated on Zamora street in Busteni, Romania. The building, whose construction was completed in 1991, was constructed by the architect Gregory Cerchez at the request of Prince George Grigore Cantacuzino. It is was build in Neo-Romanian style; the total surface of the estate is over 3000 square meters.
The Castle belonged to the Cantacuzino family until the forced nationalization of 1948, when it became preventorium for the Ministry of Internal Affair. During the communist period, the orginal furniture was removed and a part of interior walls were painted over. After 1989, the castle was returned to Cantacuzino descendants, who sold it to private investors in 2004.
The castle underwent restoration work and today is open to the public.
