Mogosoaia Palace, Southern Romania, Romania

4.5 (240 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Southern Romania Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings

Amazing princely palace in a vast park setting.

Beautifully restored palace on the outskirts of Bucharest, Mogosoaia Palace is located on the shores of a lake. It was built in the early 18'th century by prince Constantin Brancoveanu in the uniquely Romanian architectural style that bears his name: "brancovenesc". The interior is interesting with contemporary artefacts. One room has the floor made of tiny "sandwiches" of glass with gold foil between them.

A quiet place near Bucharest
This place is so quiet and relazing. The way to the castle is through the park which is like a forest. There is a perfect place for walks or picnic. The castle is special and there is also a restaurant inside it. You can arrive at Mogosoaia Castle by train from Bucharest and it takes only 10 minutes and it costs 5 RON.

Great Experience
First stop was Mogosoaia Palace in a village of the same name. Palace was built in 1688 in the Byzantine style with no sharp angles. Summer residence of King Constantin Brancoveni who reigned from 1688 to 1714. The Royal Palace was burned several times by the Ottomans. He ruled 1/3 of today’s Romania. They used iconography in their churches since the common people could not read, but could interpret pictures, which were usually painted on wood or plaster. Grounds are poorly maintained.
