Casa Trăisteni
Muntenia, Prahova county
Trăisteni, Romania
This single-story, 19th century dwelling has been relocated to the open-air Village Museum in Bucharest. The masonry building, plastered and whitewashed, includes a wooden raised sitting porch (cerdac/foişor), which projects from the covered gallery (prispă). Decorative turning and shaping elaborate the porch posts and rail. A doorway below the cerdac leads to a cellar.
