Conțești - Cantacuzino Manor
Medieval stone fortress in Dâmbovița 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 Cantacuzino Manor in Conțești, built in 1870 in Neo-Renaissance style, is one of the most valuable boyar manors on the Muntenian Plain. The dendrological park with rare species, the façade with carved window frames and the salon with period furniture are its notable features.
Best time to visit
Spring through autumn. Many castles close or limit access during winter.
