About

The Cnejilor Palace is a ruined palace located in the village of Ceahlău in the commune of the same name (Neamț county). It was built in the 17th - 18th centuries by the boyars from the Cantacuzino family who owned the surrounding estates within the former Hangu hermitage. Obtaining the property right in 1839, the Cantacuzins transformed the monastic settlement into a fortified manorial courtyard, modifying the cells, building annexes, strengthening the enclosure wall. This is how the Cnejilor Palace was born, in fact a noble residence on the border between the manor and the palace, built according to all the feudal rules.

Even if the palace has not (yet) been restored, the location is worth a visit due to its rich and interesting past.
