Things to see and do Bușteni

Commissioned by Prince Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino, one-time Prime Minister, the castle was built in 1911. Its facade is a fine example of neo-Romanesque architecture, while the colorful interior features stained glass, stucco and woodwork. The 2nd floor houses an art gallery where exhibitions are held. The castle has also seen a resurgence in tourist interest since the airing of the hit TV series Mercredi (Wednesday), since it was here that the scenes set at Nevermore Academy were filmed.

Despite the few factories and gray buildings at the bottom of the valley, the resort itself is quite pretty. Along the main road (bulevardul Libertății), you'll notice the House of Culture (Casa de Cultură, no. 93), built entirely of wood, and right next door (no. 95) the pretty Orthodox church founded in 1889 by Carol ^I and his wife Elisabeth. To the east of the station, at the edge of the forest (strada Zamorei 1), you can also admire Cantacuzino Castle, a magnificent early ^20th-century building in neo-Brâncovenesc style.
