The Sinaia Museum is located within the Ştirbei Palace, which was the holiday residence of General Emanuel Florescu and Alina (Alexandrina) Stirbei.
The Palace was built between 1874 and 1875 by the Dutch architect Josef Jacob Schieffleers at the request of Barbu Bibescu-Ştirbei’s daughter. Thus, the imposing villa becomes the oldest civilian construction of the city, after the first villa built in Sinaia – Dimitrie Ghica, was demolished to make room for … Sinaia Casino.
Located between the Sinaia Cable Car and the New Montana Hotel, the museum provides interesting information about the life of Princess Alina Ştirbei, married and divorced twice, but also about personalities who lived and created in Sinaia.
The palace is built of stone, guarded by two towers, once having access for carriages on two sides. The visit is divided into 13 themes, including: the history of the city, the aristocratic salon, the treasures of Bucegi, personalities, Orient Express, etc.
After a tour, in the palace’s dining room one can enjoy a coffee on the scenery which the former owners have once admired through the generous windows, and for those who want a special experience, upstairs there are rooms that can be rented.
