Balaci - Brâncoveanu Manor
Medieval stone fortress in Teleorman 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.
Brâncoveanu Manor in Balaci, an estate of Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu, who was executed in Constantinople in 1714, is one of the few Brâncoveanu-era manors in southern Muntenia. Its vaulted cellars and traces of the original architecture make Balaci a valuable heritage monument.
Best time to visit
Spring through autumn. Many castles close or limit access during winter.
