We have been waiting a long time for the restoration of the Manuk Bey Palace, it is a pity that this pearl was practically destroyed for so long. Therefore, we were among the first visitors after the opening.
From Chisinau to the estate it takes about 30-35 minutes, the road is good and quite picturesque from spring to autumn.
Behind the fence, in a well-kept area, there are 4 buildings, two are open to the public for now, the other two are simply empty and you can look inside through the window. The first accessible building is equipped as an ethnographic museum, containing household items and clothing.
The second is the palace itself. It’s very beautiful, it was restored based on old photos and descriptions, but the beautiful stylized Italian furniture still shows that it’s a remake and stylization. But this is not so important, considering that the original has not existed for a long time; it fits well into the atmosphere of the palace.
The most interesting thing is the descent into the basements, which are almost completely original, and the passage through them to the opposite building. They are quite cool, so take something to throw over your shoulders.
In general, the overall impression of visiting the estate is wonderful, a pleasant pastime and an opportunity to see something new for yourself.

This place is about 200 years old. It suffered from WW2 and Communist regime but, after being bombarted and demolished, was renovated a few years ago.
The palace itself is impressive with its european look and design.
I believe I got mostly impressed by the story(ies) our guide - Adrian - was telling us. He was very passionate and knowledgeable while explaining the story of Manuc Bey as well as international context of the times he was living in. Therefore our group spent more then 2 hours at this place.

I spent one hour during the guided tour @Manuc Bey place. It is a renovated place with enough artefacts to be seen and a few historical stories to be heard.
It's a pitty not all facilities were open for visiting, otherwise it's a lovely place to visit.
check for english guide, if avaialble.

By chance I was in this place but it's worth it. This place was renovated recently and I found some very interesting things about Manuc-Bey . There are also objects, local clothing, documents, pictures of this area.

The best place in Moldova I have ever visited ! It is filled with an aristocratic air that inspires every single visitor- the furniture is exquisite, the floors, the walls, everything! It actually looks like one of PewDiePie's houses, as I have seen from his videos :D

The entrance fee is 100 lei. A little expensive. We visited the palace because it was already closed. Beautiful view.
The staircase leading to the palace from the main road would be nice if it were renovated.
