The most important building of the Savarsin Royal Domain is the castle built in the 1650-1680 period. The castle became the property of King Mihai in 1943, by purchase, but was confiscated by the communist regime in 1948, returning to the ownership of the Royal Family in 2001. The main restoration works of the castle, started in 2007, were completed in 2015, the investments being made by the Royal Family.

In recent years, other buildings on the estate have been restored and can be visited, including the Tea House, the Automobile Museum, King Mihai’s Auto Workshop, the Guest House, the Superintendent’s House and the Souvenir Shop.

The Royal Domain of Savarsin also has a park with a hidden garden, a pavilion, a lake with an island, a tennis court from 1945, a rose garden and a canopy of wisteria.
