history
In 1897, Prince Grigore M. Sturdza had the palace built in Bucharest according to the plans of the German architect Julius Reinicke , which was to be his future residence. The construction took four years (1897–1901). But he did not manage to live in it because he died in 1901. After his death, the building became the seat of the Foreign Ministry. In 1937 construction began on the new Victoria Palace behind the Sturdza Palace. The palace was badly damaged during World War II and the State Department moved to the Victoria Palace. Since no buyers could be found for the building and it was in the middle of Victoria Square , it was decided in 1946 to demolish it.
