Located on Dinicu Golescu Boulevard, The Villa with Gorgons is one of the few buildings from the beginning of the 20th century that has been preserved on this important artery of Bucharest. The building was built in 1913 and bears the signature of Ion D. Berindey, one of the most famous and prolific Romanian architects of the first three decades of the 20th century. Among the 29 works classified as historical monuments of Ion D. Berindey are the Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino Palace (today the headquarters of the George Enescu National Museum and the Romanian Composers Union), the George G. Assan House (today the House of Scientists), Palace of the Journalists' Union (today the Very Small Theatre). The Villa with Gorgons was built as Colonel Andreescu's private residence as explained by Revista Poporului, a newspaper of the time, which emphasizes how a good architect can with a modest amount easily obtain a completely satisfactory construction from the aesthetic and comfortable point of view. From an aesthetic point of view, the building is tributary to the romantic style and has as a distinctive sign the gorgonles, sculptures that decorate the facade. Gorgons are taken from Greek culture where symbols on doors, walls, windows, floors and shields were intended to protect the ancient Greeks from evil. In terms of use, the villa is truly versatile and can be set up as a home, office space or a bohemian restaurant. Located on a land area of 309 square meters, with a footprint of 101 square meters, Vila cu Gorgone is a slim building, with a D+D+1E+M height regime. The spaces are generous and balanced on levels. The ground floor and first floor have three rooms each and spacious entrance halls. The rooms have wide windows and are bright. The same generous space also exists in the mezzanine, and the attic is open space and perfect for a bohemian design. The villa has two access ways: one pedestrian and another for car access. The building is strengthened and the facade is completely restored. Photo: Tudor Prisecaru, Alex Canjea.

Property with garden Bucharest (Romania)

The castle was built during the 17th century by Gyulay Ferencz, an Austrian general, the only child of Hungarian nobleman Gyulay Ignacz. Ferencz built the mansion on the site of a smaller building. The general’s family ruled the town called Mintia, that was renamed Marosnemeti, a term derived from the Hungarian word nemet, that translates to German. Several descendants of the Gyulay family lived at the castle. Historical documents from 1806 state that the Mintia mansion was owned at that time by Gyulay Istvan, followed by Albert and K.R Gyulay. Countess Gyulay of Mintia, who married Ladislau Kuun of Osdola, later inherited the domain together with her brother, Ludovic. In 1848, the Gyulay family took refuge at Cluj and, after the revolution, Ludovic, Ladislau Kuun, his wife Constance, and their children, Irene and Geza, returned to Mintia. Ludovic was the last heir of the Gyulay family. He wrote over 100 journals about the mansion and about Mintia. All of them are preserved at the Cluj-Napoca history museum. Ludovic Gyulay modified the building in 1834, giving it the shape it has today. Ludovic Gyulay never got married and, therefore, never had any heirs. His fortune was inherited by his brother-in-law, Ladislau Kuun, followed by his son, Geza Kuun. Geza studied Hungarian and German literature at the Universities of Budapest and Gottingen, and was a member and vice president of the Budapest Academy of Sciences. He was part of Vienna’s elite social circles, and became friends with the famous composer Franz Liszt – one of the most prominent pianists of all time. It was then that he also met writer Elena Ghica – daughter of Mihai Ghica, niece of Grigore Ghica the 4th, and the first woman to have climbed the Mont Blanc peak, on June 1st 1860. After 1870, Geza Kunn settled at Mintia and married Vilma Kemeny, the daughter of baron Kemeny of Magyar-Gyeno Monosto. His presence here transformed the town into a gathering place for eminent representatives of the cultural and scientific scenes, which included V. Zakrzewski – professor at the Cracovia University, Al. Szilagyi – secretary of the Historical Society, baron Balazs Orban, A. Szecsen –Imperial Court marchal. The beauty of the mansion located on the bank of Mureș River was also admired by the president of the Archeological Society – Solyon Fekete, the director of the Deva History Museum – Teglas Gabor, and by scientist Samuel Brassay – regarded as Transylvania’s last polymath. The immense library of the Mintia Castle and the salon, decorated with family portraits and precious objects, were visited by prefect George Pogany, subprefect Coloman Barcsay, count Coloman Esterhazy – director of the Transylvania Museum, by Otto von Keller – professor at the University of Prague, Zsolt Beothy – professor at the Budapest University, and by Norwegian scientist Conrad Nielsen. Baron Miklos Josika also traveled from Brănişca to Mintia, either on foot, by car, or on horseback. He also traveled by boat on Mureş River in order to admire the park that surrounded the castle. The rare species of plants and trees that embellished the park were mesmerizing. Count Kuun named the trees after the most important Hungarian writers, many of whom had been his friends. One of the trees, for example, bore the name of Attila, in the memory of Attila Gerando. Amid the rose bushes, the visitor could also discover numerous honorary or mortuary shrines. Geza Kuun died in 1905, on April 10th, and was entombed at Cluj. Legend has it that, although the body of count Geza was inhumed at Cluj, his heart was buried in the cemetery of the Mintia Reformed Church, alongside other members of his family and former owners of the castle. The Mintia domain, that comprises the castle and the park, is classed as a historical monument of national and universal importance, class A.

House Bucharest (Romania)

Bune ș ti, Bundorf, Bondorf, Bondref, Bodndref, Bodendorf, Budendorf, Sz á szbuda - Romanian, German, Hungarian. All these names indicate the same village in Bra ș ov, Transylvania, conveniently located between medieval Sighi ș oara (36 km) and famous Viscri (6 km). Lunca Popii mansion is located here, magically overlooking the village’s fortified church. It has a typical Saxon fence that blocks the view of the curious and keeps the household quiet. The tall, rounded gate and the property fence retain their original brick roof, one that has been blown away by the wind, washed away by the rain, and covered with moss of the yesteryear. Two huge boulders guard the gate like two sheepfolds. Everything inspires a quiet life, clear directions and an attitude of looking life straight in the eye. Only the bench leaning timidly on one side of the gate speaks of the fragility of human nature, always looking for closeness to the other. The stones leading to the house with the raised porch are from local, from a nearby riverbed or ridge, not bought from a DIY store. In the evening, the outdoor lighting springs from the grass and projects a warm light that invites to storytelling and stargazing. Although the construction is recent, it give the impression of a wealthy Saxon peasant household - the cleanliness of the white and the warmth of the wood create that rare air of seriousness and stability. The winter here is snowy just like in our grandparents' childhood stories. In summer, on the other hand, the yard is filled with tall grass, flowers and trees with rich canopy; the sunbeds and the table with stone chairs are overwhelmed by this domestic green, vibrant, refreshing and restful. As in any organised household, the bread oven and the fountain with a handmade clay jug cannot be missing. The wood stack promises warm winters but also deliciously smoked grill ed food. The courtyard is configured on the typical Saxon model, divided by the large house and adjacent buildings, in this case a garage for two cars and a private parking space for another five. Enjoying an excellent position in the country’s hot area of rural tourism, the property can function both as a single-family holiday home and as a tourist cottage for groups of up to 14 people. If desired, there is the possibility of extension with constructions on a similar surface - the property includes a plot of 1221 sqm adjacent to the current courtyard of 1233 sqm. The villa has 700 sqm; was built in 2009 which gives it all the facilities of a modern, comfortable home. Exposed oak beams mark the impeccable white of the walls. Crafted tile stoves and generous fireplaces cozy up the atmosphere. The interior has an almost spartan air in the bedrooms, but this austerity is broken by small details with the glamor of faded bronze from other times. Three bedrooms on the ground floor have access to a bathroom and a bathroom, while the fourth has its own bathroom. Three other bedrooms are upstairs, with access to an impeccably polished solid wood staircase. Two of these bedrooms of about 16 sqm each share a bathroom but the strong point here is the master bedroom which surprises not only by it 40 sqm -area but also by the wooden bed canopy, dressing room, bathroom and private terrace. The view is dreamy - the hills of Transylvania are green and look like pastel watercolours from afar. The living space, with a library and living room of 80 sqm, includes a table for 12 people, a fireplace and a game table. In summertime the 60 sqm terrace on the porch becomes an al fresco living-room. The kitchen offers ample space ( 40 square meters ) ready to receive between its walls laughter, warmth and stories (the traditional stove in the well-equipped kitchen has a supply of wood on the right side, hidden from view by a curtain wrinkled like grandma's skirts).

House Drauț (Romania)

An elegant single-level mansion that impresses with its footprint – a long blade to the left and right of a platform entrance with simple, robust and elegant pillars. The windows with natural wood shutters profiled on the white masonry also attract attention, as well as the simple neoclassical decorative elements that give a small-scale monumentality that does not need verticality. Lit by the summer sun, with a embroidery like wooden terace and refined paving, it is a little reminiscent of French colonial mansions. Perpendicular to the road, with a yard more than generous for its almost 6 hectares, the mansion lends itself to a use in tune with the requirements of today; it can become a private residence, tourist unit, cultural center, restaurant or agricultural development. The village of Drăuț, whose name has aroused the interest of researchers (one theory says that it comes from the royal falconers who in 1270 were called Drawc) is part of the Târnova commune and is located in the center of the county, 60 km from the city of Arad.
