Cantacuzino Castle

Cantacuzino Castle is located in Bușteni and was built in 1911 to a design by the architect Grigore Cerchez on the Romanian side of the Carpathians. The building has great architectural, historical, documentary and artistic value for Romania and was chosen by the Wednesday Addams series production designer, Mark Scruton, because it resembles a New England Gothic-style manor house with additions in the eclectic style of architecture of Bucharest. The architect Grigore Cerchez, commissioned by Prince Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino, nicknamed “Nababul” (“The Nabob”), to design the castle, is a leading figure of the neo-Romanian style present in the building. Cantacuzino Castle, where it was the summer residence of Prince Grigore Cantacuzino’s family until 1930, is now open to the public.
