The late 17th-century court of the stolnic Constantin Cantacuzino at Afumați (Ilfov), reworked in the 19th century. The complex includes a manor house, the Dormition church of 1691 and an enclosure wall, and is a national-interest monument.
History
The court at Afumați belonged to the stolnic Constantin Cantacuzino, who is said to have hosted the young Constantin Brâncoveanu for his studies. The manor was completed in 1696 according to Wikipedia, and the Dormition church dates from 1691. The complex was reworked in the 19th century. The village itself was documented in 1510, and in 1913 it was sold to Stere Negropontes, who held it until the 1945 agrarian reform. The manor is now said to be administered by a company, AGROINDAF.
