This castle was built in the 1890s by Romanian savant BP Hasdeu in memory of his daughter, Julia after she died at the early age of 18. The grieving father started spiritism sessions to contact the spirit of his beloved Julia and it is said that the castle was built following her instructions from the afterlife.
