Albești Muscel - Golescu Manor
Medieval stone fortress in Argeș county
What it feels like
Stone-cold corridors, narrow windows, the weight of centuries under every arch. The kind of place where the silence is part of the architecture.
The Golescu-Grant Manor in Albești-Muscel, built in 1640 and remodelled in the 19th century by the Golescu family, is the best-preserved boyar manor in Argeș. The salon with period furniture, the library and the garden with rare species recreate the lifestyle of the Romanian boyars.
Best time to visit
Spring through autumn. Many castles close or limit access during winter.
