Beautiful Romania : Iulia Hasdeu Castle, Campina.

Hasdeu Castle, Campina, RomaniaThe Iulia Hasdeu Castle is a folly house built in the form of small castle by historian and politician Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu in the city of Câmpina, Romania. Work on it began in 1893, after Hasdeu’s daughter, Iulia Hasdeu, died at the age of 19, an event that dramatically shook and changed Hasdeu’s life. He claimed that his belated daughter provided the plans for building the castle during sessions of spiritism (which took much of Hasdeu’s imagination and time after Iulia’s death). The building was completed in 1896.
The Iulia Hasdeu Castle, who was requiring a lot of reparation, even when Hasdeu was in life, was affected by the first world war and in 1924 the People’s Atheneum of Câmpina “B.P.Hasdeu” tries to take it for restoration. The castle was affected again by the Second World War and it keeps its state till 1955, when its name was written in the Listing of Historical Monuments.
Since 1994 the Iulia Hasdeu Castle has been housing the “B.P.Hasdeu” Memorial Museum which displays furniture, personal belongings of Hasdeu family, photos and original documents, manuscripts, Hasdeu’s reviews, many pictures made by Nicolae Grigorescu and Sava Hentia.

  2. A lot of these monuments are nice to look at however they still remain monuments to failure in a lot of cases. It would be my sincere wish that people in the future really focus on monuments to success raher then failure. Especially constant failure. Public musuems and monuments are supposed to promote continually meaningful not continual meaningless.

  3. L-am vizitat de cateva ori si cand voi mai fi prin zona nu voi ezita sa-l revad. Nu doar muzeul este frumos, are o curte splendida!

    • Nu l-am vazut niciodata, din pacate si e atat de aproape de mine….in curand voi face o vizita pentru ca am auzit numai lucruri bune despre acest loc.

  4. Pai ar trebui neaparat sa ajungi..este fantastic. Eu l-am vazut in urma cu multi ani, dar sunt sigura ca daca as ajunge in zona, nu l-as rata :) . Abia astept sa vad pozele facute de tine intr-un articol si ceva impresii :)

  5. Mi-ai dat o idee pentru un weekend viitor sa stii. :)
    O sa ajungem aici si sa o facem foarte multe poze.

  6. Ma bucur tare mult. Apoi zi si tu daca nu e pacat sa il ai in zona si sa nu ne oferi poze personale cu locul acesta plin de o atmosfera atat de particulara :) . Eu in mod sigur abia astept sa citesc impresiile pe care ti le-a lasat si sa vad pozele pe care le-ai facut :) . Vreme faina sa aveti :) .
