  • Cula Duca

    We borrow this (abridged) text from a domestic Romanian website:  “Built in 1812, the Duca Kula impresses with the massiveness of its walls and astonishingly precise architecture, representing a true landmark of Oltenian architectural style. Located in Măldărești in Vâlcea County, the kula harmoniously integrates into the Măldărești Museum Complex, along with the I.G. Duca Memorial House and the Greceanu Kula, forming a triangle of historical heritage.”  Unused card.  Grade: 1

  • Bucuresti, Arcul de Triumf

    Looks familiar?  Wikipedia as always provides guidance, and we’ve abridged:  “Arcul de Triumf is a triumphal arch located on the Kiseleff Road.  Designed by Petre Antonescu, it was built in 1921–22, renovated in 1935–36, and renovated again starting in 2014. It commemorates Romania’s victory in the First World War and the coronation of King Ferdinand I and his wife Marie.  The first, wooden, triumphal arch was built hurriedly, after Romania gained its independence (1878), so that the victorious troops could march under it.”  This card was not postally used but has a sticker and many club signatures on the reverse.  Grade: 4

  • Bonțida, Bánffy Castle

    The colourful and varied history of this castle near Cluj-Napoca dates back to 1387, and among other things it has served as a field hospital, when German troops plundered and devastated the castle; during the communist regime as a driving school, cooperative farm, and hospital for children. In 1963, Bánffy Castle was used as decor for filming Pădurea spânzuraților … the film had a short scene with fire, causing massive damage to the building.  In 1990, the castle was declared a historic monument, and since 2013 the castle has been the venue for an annual music festival called Electric Castle, held each July.  This card was mailed in 2025, with stamp and two postmarks.  Grade: 1

  • Bucharest, Casa din Criţ

    Sub-captioned in German as “Haus in Deutsch Kreuz”, this is one of those rare postcards we cannot properly describe.  What we can say is:  it measures 5-3/4″ x 7-1/4″, it’s unused, and it has two stamped “chops” on the reverse, from August and October 2023, commemorating what looks like the first day of something.  Googling did not help us at all, except that this may (or may not) now be a museum.  We do not downgrade the card because of those chops, nor because we don’t understand it.  Grade: 1
