Tourism[edit]
Noica Mansion is one of Ștorobăneasa's tourist objectives. Unfortunately, it cannot be visited at this time, as the building is in conservation. It has a long and painful history, the building being vandalized twice: first by the communist authorities after the owners were arrested (later assassinated in jail), and second after being return to its rightful owner, Radu Noica, a German citizen. The building (in a good state in 2005), was vandalized, doors stolen, windows broken, some wall were hammered down. Villagers turned the adjacent land in a garbage dump. It was saved just before the collapse in 2015 by a foreign buyer that recognized its particular architectural style and decided to put in conservation. Its renovation date is still pending, the complicated bureaucratic regime of historical monuments in Romania, its location outside of a major city, as well as the bad will of the local community pushing back the renovation date.
