Suțu Palace
About

The Suțu Palace in Bucharest is one of the city’s oldest aristocratic residences, built between 1833 and 1835 by Costache Suțu. Designed by Conrad Schwink and Johann Veit, the palace has remained largely unchanged for over 150 years, preserving its Neo-Gothic elegance. Inside, visitors can admire the grand staircase, designed by sculptor Karl Storck, and the famous backward-running clock, which can only be read through its reflection in a mirror. Since 1956, the palace has housed the Museum of the Municipality of Bucharest, offering exhibitions on the city’s history, archaeology, and cultural evolution. The museum’s permanent exhibition, "Time of the City," takes visitors on a journey through Bucharest’s past, featuring artifacts, photographs, and interactive displays. Located near Piața Universității, Suțu Palace is a must-visit for those interested in Romanian history and architecture, providing a glimpse into the aristocratic life of 19th-century Bucharest.
