The fun recommences!
Casa Vernescu, which houses the Palace Casino, is a building full of surprises. A building where history and memories have been formed since the 1820s and like any building emanates a mysterious air like a legend with a rich past and a lot of passion added from generation to generation.
Casa Vernescu was built in 1821 by the Wallachian boyar Filip Lens, the son of a French nobleman. The palace was erected to be offered as a wedding gift to his bride, Lisaveta Balotescu-Carpinisanu. A year later, in 1822, the building fell prey to a devastating fire. However, the owner rebuilt the building, transforming it into the most beautiful palace of those times in Bucharest for more than a quarter of a century. Also here was one military unit in turn, then the Ministry of War. In 1886 the building became the property of Guță Vernescu who, with the help of the architect Ion Mincu, carried out a restoration, and the painter George Demetrescu Mirea decorated its interiors. The central theme of the building is its center occupied by a vast elliptical hall.
