Snagov Palace (Romanian: Palatul Snagov) is a former royal palace on the shore of Lake Snagov, about 40 km north-east of Bucharest, in Ilfov County, Romania. The palace is situated in the commune of Snagov and near the Snagov monastery.
Snagov Palace was built in the early thirties of the 20th Century by Henrieta Delavrancea-Gibory for prince Nicholas of Romania, brother of king Carol II.[1] It was built on the grounds of the royal hunting lodge Scroviște, which dated from the 19th Century. The new palace was constructed in the Romanian Brâncovenesc style and completed in 1932.
The palace has a formal garden with fountains, which was landscaped by the Austrian landscape architect Rebhun. In the garden there is a former guesthouse in Romanian Arts and Crafts-style, built in the beginning of the 20th Century.
