Stunning view of the Iulia Hașdeu Castle.

The castle has 3 towers, in the middle tower is the sanctuary. The middle tower has a big iron door on which is the emblem of Hașdeu family, Pro fide et patria and the words of Galileo Galilei, E pur si muove, the door is moving around an spindle  and it is the main gate. The door is flanked by two thrones on which are dug the seven most important reincarnations of Iulia Hașdeu and also the twelve laws and Pythagorean symbols( the pentagram and the seven circles). On each thrones  on top of it is situated a feminine sfinx, guardian of the entry.Above the door you can see a big eye and also a date 2 July, the date at which Bogdan Petriceicu Hașdeu  was celebrating his daughter and his wife.

Now, come with me and let’s go inside. First is the reception room, now is the room where you can by your ticket to visit the castle which is around 2 euro/10 lei you can visit it daily from 8 to 16, so let’s get in.

On every window you can see some mirrors,this room and also the living room has mural painting and the they are the most sunny in the morning as the castle is oriented to north, the tower from right is oriented to east and the one from left  to west.In this room you can see a beautiful wall clock, but also a great looking stove :) . Now we will go to the living room, here are many beautiful objects.

In pictures above you can see the beautiful painted walls, the beautiful mirror, the beautiful porcelain, a nice wooden table,  the portrait of Elisabeta Hașdeu, the mother of the scientist .There is also the old  beautiful clock that belonged to the father of the scientist, the watch has a barometer an normal and an astronomic calendar ( that shows moon phase). There is also a portrait with the scientist with his wife and his daughter.

The next room is the sanctuary,  but about that I will tell you next time.
