Built a short distance from the Royal Palace and the Romanian Athenaeum, in the center of Little Paris, the house of doctor Iosif Patzelt, former primary doctor of the Saint Ana Hospital, is one of the architectural jewels that keep in our memory the beauty of the historical buildings of pre-war Bucharest. Over the years, among the owners of the house were public figures from that period, such as General Vasile Zottu and the scientist Alexandru C. Mironescu, so that later it became the property of the Saint Mary's Institute, serving as an auxiliary body of the pensioner of girls (1936). Adorned with coats of arms, frames and floral friezes on the outside, the house still exudes the perfume of the period. With a constructed area of 843 square meters, the building has a basement, ground floor, first floor and attic, it has 23 rooms, 7 bathrooms and various storage spaces. It was designed to serve as a residence but can be re-compartmentalized for various future business destinations. Photo: Gabriel Ghizdavu
