Turcinești - Glogoveanu Manor
Medieval stone fortress in Gorj 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.
Glogoveanu Manor in Turcinești, an 18th-century building of the Glogoveanu boyars, is one of the most valuable boyar manors in Oltenia. The cellars with semicircular vaults, the gallery of family portraits and the park with age-old walnut trees make the manor an important local heritage monument.
Best time to visit
