Cantacuzino Castle

"The building, whose construction was completed in 1911, was conducted by the architect Grigore Cerchez (1850-1927), a prominent figure of the Neo-Romanian style, at the request of Prince Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino, who was nicknamed "Nababul" (“The Nabob”). The castle was placed on the site of an old hunting lodge that the prince's family had used as a halt during their pilgrimages to Brașov. The construction works lasted for five years, and the furnishing lasted another year and a half. At the inauguration in 1911, the castle impressed not only by its style and beauty, but also by its modern facilities in relation to those times, benefitting from electricity, sewerage system and drinking water. Until 1930, the castle served as the summer residence of the family of Prince Grigore Cantacuzino. The castle belonged to the Cantacuzino family until its nationalization in 1948, then became a sanatorium of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Cantacuzino Castle was built in Busteni as one of 3 palaces commissioned by Prince Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino. (The other two are in Bucharest and Floresti.) The architectural style is Neo-Romanian, and construction was completed in 1911. The castle is now a museum, an art exhibition and performance venue, an special event space, and a filming location.

"Beautiful castle that hosted the filming of the famous Netflix series "Wednesday". Finding free parking outside is almost impossible, alternatively you can leave your car in the paid car park. There are combined tickets to visit either the exterior or interior of the castle, or both, at will. However, the interior can only be visited via a guided tour. Outside, in the park, there are posters of some scenes from the film where you can take photos."
