Conacele din Izvoru de Sus, judeţul Argeş

  • Subiect: The Mansions from Izvoru de Sus, Argeş County The two mansions of Izvoru de Sus village, known as the „big castle” and the „small castle”, are parts of the former manor that is likely to have been established in mid-17th century. The domain of Izvoru was initially owned by Ştirbei family, who founded „Saint Nicholas” Church, as the manor chapel that subsequently became the worship place of the whole village. Close to the church, the boyars built a house too, the cellars of which still can be seen today under the „small castle”. In the 19th century, the property passed into the possession of Perticari family who set up the „big castle” and restored the old house which became the „small castle”. Nowadays, the „castles” of Izvoru de Sus have been falling in ruins with every passing day and nobody can or wants to deter this process. Some parts therefore, like the floors of the „big castle”, are widely destroyed. The spirit shading both mansions have been undergoing since 1947 is enhanced by the physical deterioration started many years ago. The present-day situation of these buildings is not only the consequence of the 1977 earthquake. On the contrary, de-allocation, lack of maintenance, and robbery are the crucial causes of the deplorable state of these heritage sites.
