Summary/Abstract: Considering historical information, as well as the analysis of the type of dwelling of the stone house, which on the one hand appears to be having the features of a summer house, with no stove chimneys nor an isolated staircase, and on the other hand completely lacking security facilities, we reach the conclusion that an older house had existed here before, which was permanently inhabited by its owners, and that a system of courtyards and houses must have been put in place for the many servants that a nobleman like Udrişte Năsturel could have easily afforded.
