Casa Muzeu „Constantin Stamati"
House museum at Ocnița, in the summer kitchen that survived the 1917 revolution
A visit to the building that outlived the manor, with the bust and the linden in the ensemble
Worth it for the story of the place, told by the reviews themselves: this is where the writer who translated Pushkin and helped found the Romanian Academy died.
Memorial museum at Ocnița, on the site of the former estate of the writer Constantin Stamati, open Tuesday to Sunday. One detailed review says everything you need to know about the place: Stamati is one of the great Moldovan writers, was awarded the Order of Saint Anne, became a friend of Pushkin and translated his works, and in 1866 became one of the founders of the Romanian Academy on behalf of Bessarabia. He spent the last days of his life on this estate, where he died in 1869. The manor itself was destroyed during the 1917 revolution, but the summer kitchen building survived and now houses the museum. The memorial ensemble also includes a bust of the writer and a century-old linden tree. One visitor describes the experience as a trip back in time and praises the ladies who receive visitors, calling them kind and full of positive energy.
