CHILDREN'S AND STUDENTS' PALACE RÂMNICU VÂLCEA, ROMÂNIA

Short history of the building

On June, the 12th, 1749, Preda Bujoreanu, a local “vornic”, old title for the magistrate, sells his “two stone cellars” mansion, to the Socoteanu family. At the beginning of the 19th century, Paraschiva (Bica) Socoteanu marries Iancu Lahovari, and the mansion is included in her dowry. From that moment, the house belongs to the Socoteanu-Lahovari family.  On September, the 11th, 1909, Irina Sterian, the inheritor of Constantin Lahovari, sells the mansion to the town, and the building is the place where the City Hall functions until 1979. From 1979 to present, this historical building is the place where the courses of Children’s Palace take place.
