Castelul Sturdza Miclăușeni

Sturdza Castle at Miclauseni is an impressive Neo-Gothic edifice, raised in the second half of the nineteenth century by the boyar Sturdza family, one of the oldest in Moldavia. Located in Iasi county, the castle stands out for its turreted facades, pointed-arch windows and heraldic ornaments that recall Western medieval architecture. Around the building lies a vast arboretum park, with tree species brought from various regions.

Over time the estate went through many transformations, including hard years in the twentieth century, when it was ransacked and put to other uses. Today the castle is in the care of the Metropolitanate of Moldavia and Bucovina, being gradually restored and opened to visitors. The peaceful setting and the legends tied to the Sturdza family make it a special destination for lovers of history and heritage.
