The manor, built in 1880 - 1898 by Dumitru Rosetti Tescanu, was from the beginning a good host for artists and intellectuals. Today a historic monument, the house belonged to Maruca, the wife of the musician George Enescu, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century who spent here many summers between 1909 and 1946 working at his compositions. He composed his opera Oedipus here. In 1947, Maria Rosetti Enescu donated the property, including the house and 33 hectares of apple orchards, park and land to the Romanian state. The memorial house was restored and opened in 1970, keeping the original furniture, the piano and other objects. In 1990, Tescani became a cultural centre for various m...eetings and artistic events. You can visit the library and the art gallery with works of artists who spent some time there.
