Romanian commune with abandoned palaces. It is considered the locality with the richest villagers – Budgetul.ro

After the Revolution of 1989, more and more Romanians chose to go to work abroad. With the money collected, some of them built sumptuous houses in their native places. This is also the case of the Certeze commune, which is considered one of the richest localities in our country. The Certeze landscape is dominated by real palaces that were built by young people who went to work abroad. Paradoxically, the commune is almost deserted, only the elderly currently living here.

In the last 30 years, many Romanians have chosen to go to work abroad, wanting to have a better life. However, many of them want to return to the country, so they have built impressive houses in the localities where they were born.

The commune with luxurious villas, but which are abandoned

Certeze commune in Satu Mare county is among the localities from which young people went to work abroad in large numbers. This is considered the richest commune in our country, as evidenced by the luxurious villas located here. The sumptuous constructions were erected by young people who went to work abroad, intending to return here at some point. However, at the moment, these real palaces are deserted, with only the old people remaining in the commune taking care of them. More precisely, during most of the year, Certeze commune is almost deserted. Young people working abroad come here only once a year, on vacation.

The houses in Certeze commune stand out for their opulent architecture. They have one, two or even three stories, wooden attics, tiled or tin roofs, and stone foundations or pillars. At the same time, the villas are notable for their modern windows or carved wooden doors, balconies with an unusual architecture and fences made of concrete or wrought iron.

The old people left in the village take care of the empty houses

The elders who remain in the commune take great care of the houses built by their children and make sure that everything is perfect when they come here on vacation. This is also the case of Mrs. Cecilia, who takes care of the imposing construction that her daughter and son-in-law built after 15 years of work in France. Every week, the woman dusts and airs, otherwise having nothing to do because no one lives here to make a mess.
