In this episode I'm presenting you one of the most beautiful parks from Romania. Mogoșoaia Palace is a historic building in Mogoșoaia, Ilfov County, Romania, located about 15 km from downtown Bucharest. The complex contains the building itself, its courtyard with the watchtower, the cuhnia (kitchen), the guest house (Vila D'Elchingen), the ice-house and the Bibescu family vault, as well as the church Sfântul Gheorghe located near the courtyard walls.

The Mogoșoaia Palace was in the possession of the Brancoveanu family for about 119 years and then passed into the ownership of the Bibescu family.
The palace was built until 1702 by Constantin Brâncoveanu in the Brancovenesque style, a style previously used in another of his palaces, built by him in Potlogi. The work was completed on 20 September 1702, according to the pisan on the east side of the palace. The date of the beginning of the construction is not known, but it is known that Brancoveanu started buying land in the area in 1681.

After 1714, when Constantin Brancoveanu was executed in Constantinople with his sons, all the family wealth was confiscated by the Ottomans and the palace was turned into an inn. It was redeemed by the ruler Ștefan Cantacuzino and then returned to the great banker Constantin Brâncoveanu, the ruler's grandson, and remained in the family's possession until the early 19th century.

After Grigore passed away in 1832, the property at Mogoșoaia was inherited by his adopted daughter, Zoe Mavrocordat, and through her marriage to the ruler Gheorghe Bibescu, concluded in 1826, it passed into his family. The palace was renovated between 1860-1880 by Nicolae Bibescu, who also built the family vault in the palace park, and the nearby Elchingen villa. The palace continued to be run by the Bibescu family, but they moved to the new villa and the old building remained unoccupied. This was until 1911, when Maria-Nicole Darvari sold the palace to her cousin George-Valentin Bibescu, who gave it as a wedding present to his wife Martha.

Today, Mogoșoaia Palace houses the Brancoveneque Art Museum and is an important tourist attraction.

Since 2010, Martha Bibescu's rightful heirs, who live in the UK, have been fighting in court to recover the complex, or if necessary to obtain adequate compensation.

Mogoșoaia Palace (in Romanian: Palatul Mogoșoaia, pronounced [paˈlatul moɡoˈʃo̯aja]) is situated about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from Bucharest, Romania. It was built between 1698-1702 by Constantin Brâncoveanu in what is called the Romanian Renaissance style or Brâncovenesc style. The palace bears the name of the widow of the Romanian boyar Mogoș, who owned the land it was built on.

After 1714, when Constantin Brancoveanu was executed with his entire family in Constantinople, all the family's wealth was confiscated by the Ottomans and the palace was converted into an inn. Rebought by Prince Stefan Cantacuzino, he returned it to Brâncoveanu's grandson Constantin, and remained with the family until the early nineteenth century.

The palace was devastated by the Ottomans during the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774. Granted by prince Grigore to his daughter, Zoe Mavrocordat who had married George D. Bibescu, sovereign Prince of Wallachia. The palace remained within Bibescu family and was renovated by Nicolae Bibescu.[1]

In November 1916, the palace at Mogosoaia was bombed by the German air forces.[2] Bought from Marie-Nicole by her cousin (and head of the Princely house), Prince George Bibesco, the Palace was given to his wife, Princess Martha. He later deeded the land to her, too. Martha spent her private fortune for the reconstruction. In the late 1920s and the 1930s, the palace became the meeting place for politicians and for the international high society. When Prince George died in 1941, he was buried in the small, white 1688 church on the grounds of the Palace.[3]

Brancovenesc architectural style
During the second world war, Prince Antoine Bibesco (a cousin of George Bibesco) and his wife Elizabeth Bibesco refused to flee the country. When Elizabeth died of pneumonia on April 7, 1945 she was buried in the Bibesco family vault on the grounds of Mogoșoaia. Neither Elizabeth Bibesco's husband, Antoine, nor George Bibesco's wife, Martha, could be buried beside them, as they both died during the Communist regime.[4] After 1945, the palace was forcibly nationalized by the communist authorities, and the owners, Valentina și Dimitrie Ghika-Comănești, were arrested.

Romania (#26): Mogosoaia Palace

Mogosoaia Palace ... is situated about 10 kilometers from Bucharest. It was built between 1698-1702 by Constantin Brâncoveanu in what is called the Romanian Renaissance style or Brâncovenesc style, a combination of Venetian and Ottoman elements. The palace bears the name of the widow of the Romanian boyar Mogos, who owned the land it was built on. The Palace was to a large extent rebuilt in the 1920s by Marthe Bibesco.

The Palace had been given to Marthe by her husband, George Bibesco, who later also deeded the land to her. She spent all her wealth from the many books she wrote in its reconstruction and it became the meeting place for politicians and international high society, a quiet retreat during the growing turmoil of the 1930s.

The Palace is now a popular tourist destination, but although the grounds and gardens are beautiful, the interior of the palace itself is under reconstruction and presently houses a museum and art gallery (Muzeul de Arta Brâncoveneasca).

Best Places to Visit in Romania | Travel Video

Romania is a country of contrasts. The former Eastern Bloc country has, over the years, been owned by the Romans who gave the country its name, the Hungarians and the Ottomans. It’s full of quaint old towns, mountain resorts that offer great skiing, and a growing arts community. However, the most famous native may be the vampire Dracula, a fictional character found in Transylvania.

History is something that Romania certainly does not lack. Medieval castles are scattered all over the country – particularly in Sierra, which is full of historic buildings and old quarters from the Gothic era.
You’ll find more history in Brașov, where – if you want to know where Dracula lived – you’ll find the 14th-century Bran Castle to learn more than just the legends and Bucharest.

Mogoşoaia Palace (Brâncovenesc style)

Mogoşoaia Palace is situated about 10 kilometres from Bucharest, Romania. It was built between 1698-1702 by Constantin Brâncoveanu in what is called the Romanian Renaissance style or Brâncovenesc style, a combination of Venetian and Ottoman elements. The palace bears the name of the widow of the Romanian boyar Mogoş, who owned the land it was built on. The Palace was to a large extent rebuilt in the 1920s by Marthe Bibesco.

The Palace is now a popular tourist destination, but although the grounds and gardens are beautiful, the interior of the palace itself is under reconstruction and presently houses a museum and art gallery. (Muzeul de Artă Brâncovenească)

During the second world war, Prince Antoine Bibesco (a cousin of George Bibesco) and his wife Elizabeth Bibesco, refused to flee the country despite their outspoken anti-fascist opinions. Elizabeth spent considerable time during these years visiting Marthe Bibesco at Mogosoaia and when Elizabeth died of pneumonia on April 7, 1945 she was buried in the Bibesco family vault on the grounds of Mogoşoaia. It may surprise visitors to see her grave here with its poignant epitaph in English - My soul has gained the freedom of the night. Neither Elizabeth Bibesco's husband, Antoine, nor George Bibesco's wife, Marthe, could be buried beside them, as they both died during the Communist regime.

In 2008 the Romanian gothic rock band Inopia produced a video of their song Epitaph, filmed entirely at Mogosoaia. The long medievalist composition is based on Elizabeth Bibesco's epitaph.

In 2010 the Balkan Go Championship took place at Mogosoaia, being broadcasted by EuroGoTV to hundreds of fans watching the stream and following the games on the KGS Go Server.

Palatul Mogoșoaia, Ilfov 2023 🇹🇩 #brancoveanu #mogosoaia #istorie #constantinople

Palatul a fost construit până în 1702 de către Constantin Brâncoveanu în stil brâncovenesc, stil utilizat anterior și la un alt palat al voievodului, construit de acesta la Potlogi. Lucrarea a fost terminată în ziua de 20 septembrie 1702, conform pisaniei de pe latura de răsărit a palatului. Data începerii construcției nu este cunoscută, dar se știe că Brâncoveanu a început să cumpere pământ în zonă din 1681.
După 1714, când Constantin Brâncoveanu a fost executat la Constantinopol împreună cu întreaga sa familie, toată averea familiei a fost confiscată de otomani iar palatul a fost transformat în han. Răscumpărat de domnitorul Ștefan Cantacuzino, el a revenit apoi marelui ban Constantin Brâncoveanu, nepotul domnitorului, și a rămas în posesia familiei până la începutul secolului al XIX-lea.
Palatul a fost devastat de otomani în timpul războiului ruso-turc din 1768-1774, deoarece marele ban Nicolae Brâncoveanu ținuse partea rușilor în conflict. O nouă distrugere a palatului a avut loc cu ocazia revoluției din 1821 când ultimul urmaș al Brâncovenilor, Grigore Brâncoveanu, a fugit la Brașov și clădirea a fost ocupată de panduri. După moartea lui Grigore în 1832, palatul a rămas moștenire fiicei sale adoptive, Zoe Mavrocordat și, prin căsătoria acesteia cu domnitorul Gheorghe Bibescu, a trecut în familia acestuia și a fost renovat între 1860–1880 de Nicolae Bibescu, care a construit și cavoul familiei în parcul palatului, și vila Elchingen din apropiere. Palatul a fost administrat în continuare de familia Bibescu care, însă, s-a mutat în vila cea nouă iar clădirea veche a rămas nelocuită. Aceasta până în 1911, când Maria-Nicole Darvari a vândut palatul vărului ei George-Valentin Bibescu, care l-a oferit drept cadou de nuntă soției acestuia, Martha.
În timpul celui de Al Doilea Război Mondial, palatul a fost loc de întâlnire al diplomaților aliați, fiind, pentru câteva luni, închiriat legației elvețiene din România. După 6 martie 1945, moșia a fost naționalizată forțat de guvernul comunist, Martha Bibescu obținând de la autorități declararea ca monument istoric a palatului, pe care încă îl mai deținea. Prințesa a plecat însă definitiv din țară în septembrie 1945, lăsând palatul fiicei sale Valentina și soțului ei, Dimitrie Ghika-Comănești.
În prezent, Palatul Mogoșoaia adăpostește Muzeul de Artă Brâncovenească și este un important punct de atracție turistică.

The palace was built until 1702 by Constantin Brâncoveanu in the Brâncoven style, a style previously used in another voivode's palace, built by him in Potlogi. The work was finished on September 20, 1702, according to the inscription on the east side of the palace. The date of the start of construction is not known, but it is known that Brâncoveanu started buying land in the area in 1681.
After 1714, when Constantin Brâncoveanu was executed in Constantinople together with his entire family, all the family's wealth was confiscated by the Ottomans and the palace was turned into an inn. Redeemed by the ruler Ștefan Cantacuzino, it then returned to the great ban Constantin Brâncoveanu, the ruler's grandson, and remained in the family's possession until the beginning of the 19th century.
The palace was devastated by the Ottomans during the Russian-Turkish war of 1768-1774, because the great ban Nicolae Brâncoveanu had sided with the Russians in the conflict. Another destruction of the palace took place on the occasion of the revolution of 1821 when the last descendant of the Brâncoven family, Grigore Brâncoveanu, fled to Brașov and the building was occupied by the Pandi. After Grigore's death in 1832, the palace was inherited by his adopted daughter, Zoe Mavrocordat and, through her marriage to the ruler Gheorghe Bibescu, it passed into his family and was renovated between 1860-1880 by Nicolae Bibescu, who also built the family vault in the palace park, and the nearby Villa Elchingen. The palace was still administered by the Bibescu family who, however, moved to the new villa and the old building remained uninhabited. This until 1911, when Maria-Nicole Darvari sold the palace to her cousin George-Valentin Bibescu, who gave it as a wedding present to his wife, Martha.
During the Second World War, the palace was a meeting place for allied diplomats, being, for a few months, rented to the Swiss legation in Romania. After March 6, 1945, the estate was forcibly nationalized by the communist government, Martha Bibescu obtaining from the authorities the declaration of the palace as a historical monument, which she still owned. However, the princess left the country for good in September 1945, leaving the palace to her daughter Valentina and her husband, Dimitrie Ghika-Comănești.
Currently, the Mogoșoaia Palace houses the Brâncovenasca Art Museum and is an important tourist attraction.
