The castle recently gained a lot of popularity because of "Wednesday" supernatural comedy horror Netflix series.
Cantacuzino Castle was home to one of the most prestigious families of Romania. They hailed from Greek origins and even boasted Byzantanian descent. They were the original owners of the land where Cantacuzino stands today.
Cantacuzino Castle came into the limelight in the twentieth century, when Prince Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino initiated an ambitious reconstruction venture.
The architecture of Cantacuzino impersonated the neo-Romanian style along with accents of oriental and Italian renaissance features. It was designed by Grigore Cerchez, a well-known Romanian civil engineer and architect. It was completed just two years before the death of Prince Gheorghe and is still one of the most stunning places to visit in Romania.
