Monteoru House was built in 1874. It is located on Victory Avenue (Calea Victoriei), one of the main arteries of downtown Bucharest. It is classified as a historical monument of national interest,[1] under the number B-II-mA-19863. Between 1949 and 2013 it was the headquarters of the Union of Writers of Romania (Uniunea Scriitorilor din Romania).[2] That year, by court order, the building was returned to the heirs of the family who owned it before it was nationalized.[3]
In 2015, the owners declared their intention to transform the palace into a multicultural center.[1] In the same year, a restaurant was opened in the garden and the palace was planned to be used for live music shows, exhibitions, fairs, events for children, and other entertainment activities.[4]
