Palatul Șuțu

The Palatul Șuțu is a Neo-Gothic building in Bucharest's University District, built between 1833 and 1835 to designs by the Viennese architects Conrad Schwink and Johann Veit. Around 1862, the sculptor Karl Storck had the interior modernized, adding among other things a monumental double staircase that is reflected in a large Murano mirror. A historic landmark, the palace now houses the Museum of the City of Bucharest and gives visitors an insight into the city's history and culture.
