About Mogosoaia Palace

After about one hour of driving to the north of Bucharest, we will reach Mogosoaia Palace, a monumental building having a unique architecture called Brancovenesc Architecture, which is a Romanian Renaissance architectural style having a mixture of Venetian and Ottoman elements. The Palace was built by the ruler Constantin Brancoveanu in 1702. After the execution of Constantin Brancoveanu in Constantinople in 1714, the palace continued to be owned by the family but has passed a decline during the Ottoman rule period.

It was renovated starting in 1912 by Martha Bibescu becoming a meeting place for the members of the high-level society. During the Second World War, the palace was also a meeting place for the Allied diplomats. At the end of the Second World War, after 1945, the palace was nationalized by the Communist Party. In the present, the palace hosts the Museum of Brancoveanu Art and it is an important tourist attraction.
