Culture

Stroe Leurdeanu and Visa from Golești built Conacul Goleștilor in 1640. Stoica carried out the construction work as the master builder. Conacul Goleștilor was the residence of the Golescu family. The Curtea Goleștilor cultural heritage complex includes a Turkish bath. This bath dates from the 18th century.

The construction history of Conacul Goleștilor is thus linked to the names of Stroe Leurdeanu, Visa from Golești and Stoica. The former residence of the Golescu family is also associated with the Curtea Goleștilor cultural heritage complex, which includes the 18th-century Turkish bath.

Biserica Brătienilor is also called Biserica Sf. Ioan Botezătorul. It was built in 1898 according to the plans of the French architect André du Nouÿ. Biserica din Valea Mare bears the name „Nașterea Maicii Domnului“. It was formerly a hermitage in Gura Văii Mari. It was built between 1678 and 1688. The construction period fell during the reign of Voivode Șerban Cantacuzino. In the churchyard of this Biserica din Valea Mare is the cross from the writer Liviu Rebreanu’s first grave.

Several historical details converge at Biserica din Valea Mare: its former status as a hermitage in Gura Văii Mari, its construction between 1678 and 1688 under Voivode Șerban Cantacuzino, and the cross from the writer Liviu Rebreanu’s first grave in the churchyard.
