The castle from the series Wednesday

Wednesday is the Netflix series about Wednesday Addams, the eldest daughter of the Addams family, played by Jenna Ortega. The first season, released in 2022, was filmed in Romania, and the first episodes were directed by Tim Burton.

Cantacuzino Castle was one of the filming locations for Nevermore Academy, the school for “outcast” teenagers where Wednesday is sent. For fans of the series, a visit is a chance to see in person the terraces and façades they know from the screen.
