History
The cula was built around 1815 on the Motru floodplain by Ghiță Cuțui, a captain of panduri in Tudor Vladimirescu's army, with his son Constantin according to oral tradition. Legend links it to the abduction of his wife by Turks from Ada-Kaleh. German troops wrecked it in 1916 and it was abandoned. Attempts at restoration after 1930 failed. The state restored it in 1963-1968 (architects Iancu Atanasescu and Rodica Manciulescu), and it held an ethnographic museum. In 1990 the owners recovered the property.
