Description
Golesti Museum
Goleşti manor was built in 1640 by Stroe Leurdeanul with the aid of Stoica Craftsmen from Târgovişte, is the only building layed-fortified from the country. Knowing that those times were dangerous, Stroe is surrounding the manor with high brick walls and on the defense towers installed cannons. Thick walls, the frame floor, the monumental and its elegance too, prefigure the emergence of the builders of Brancoveanu’s period.
In 1646 Stroe Leurdeanu built also the church located near the museum, that finely combines the Wallachian influences with those from Moldavia, Armenia and the Middle East. The fortification walls of the mansion include the buttresses and battlements and has a rectangular shape, presenting in many corners round brick tower, in which, on a wooden platform, the soldiers could stay in firing position.
The Memorial Museum Department includes "Free Public School” founded by the great scholar Dinicu Golescu. He gave the chance to the poor children around the manor to learn alongside the rich.
Outside the wall, hidden in the wall, a geocache awaits to be found.
