Prolly gypsy houses
YngwieMainstream@reddit
Calling aromanians,greeks, germans and jews gypsies is not nice. Aso, confusing.
Emyhatsich@reddit (OP)
these are not gypsy houses. they were built by romanians (except for the buildings from Oradea/Nagyvarad)
Privateer_Lev_Arris@reddit
Well they’re in poor taste
RhodesianAlpaca@reddit
The first building is in Galați and it was built in the early 2010s. Apparently it's a dental clinic.
Absolutely horrendous architecture and uglier than the commie blocks surrounding it.
plmcoae@reddit
dogshit take, It’s a literal piece of art
Axel0010110@reddit
No it is not when you see it in person
It is like a gypsy castle and the walls look so… out of ramen made.
plmcoae@reddit
You’re the type of person that hates tigans so much he will call Gaudi’s houses gypsy palaces
NatureRiver@reddit
Wait are we bot supposed to hate the cigans?
plmcoae@reddit
Not to the point they’re in your walls. I for example tolerate most gabor tigans, but they’re an exception
milathebunny@reddit
Its absolutely beautiful and very unique
RhodesianAlpaca@reddit
It absolutely isn't. It's kitsch, incomparable to the real art nouveau buildings of Romania.
Axel0010110@reddit
It is not when you see it in person. While the architecture is interesting, the quality of the walls is kinda meh. Of course, in photos it looks beautiful

Average galati citizen 🤣🤣🤣
crossfire_hurricanes@reddit
Is it “allowed” for art nouveau to look so baroque? I have no idea, educate me
Current_Fee_7874@reddit
Unrelated to the houses, but I was recently in Romania and, as a BMW fanatic, I felt right at home there — it’s like every other car is a BMW; our Romanian brothers never disappoint.
Proper_Scar_6385@reddit
They replaced Passat with bmw😂😂
Commercial_Set_2752@reddit
You mean Dacia ; )
FutureFarmer777@reddit
YEs Brother, in BMW we must and in German we trust.

A taxi driver left me a wonderful quote
"Whatever the germans make,say amen"
Kidi_Galaxy@reddit
I may just be Romanian and not a Benz Albanian
phinkz2@reddit
That gives me Gaudi vibes. Like the houses he designed in Barcelona.
In any case, it's gorgeous :)
TemperatureXtreme@reddit
Was about to say!
Totally casa batllo vibes.
Jealous-Evening5662@reddit
I remember I thought the same first time I saw buildings like that in Romania. Gorgeous like you said.
Felicz@reddit
First ones I would've bet its AI
UNIntelligent-Issue2@reddit
No, they are a dentistitry cabinet from Galati, used to live near it.

Respect

The 9th is Beaux-Arts architecture apparently, not art nouveau.
capricornfinest@reddit
the 9th is amazing
RestepcaMahAutoritha@reddit
I'm not sure what the first 6 images are but they're absolute crap. Why did you even add them when there's actual real nice art noveau architecture and the ones I personally prefer the Neo-Romanesc architectural style from the early 1900s which also falls under the Art-Nouveau style.
Spervox@reddit
Wow first 6 look so unique
basedfinger@reddit
imagine dropping acid there
Bridgeburner608@reddit
Holy shit! The first building is next to the school where I went to as a kid. I used to look at it every morning and think about how ugly it was.
kawaiibutpsycho@reddit
PLEASE tell me if any of these are in Bucharest? I'm going there on the 11th for 3-4 days and I LOOVE art nouveau.
Emyhatsich@reddit (OP)
Only the buildings from pictures 3, 4 and 5 are from Bucharest.
kawaiibutpsycho@reddit
How about 9?
Emyhatsich@reddit (OP)
Oh and 9 too yeah
DifficultyRude9869@reddit
Gypsies?
Emyhatsich@reddit (OP)
What do you mean?
DifficultyRude9869@reddit
Some of them are far too gaudy something gypsies would do or donald trump...
Emyhatsich@reddit (OP)
These buildings were not builbt by gypsies wtf but by romanians/hungarians
Lucifer_893@reddit
I think he means those big kitschy houses with little towers they build.
1981Jax@reddit
He means nothing, he's just a fucking racist pos, a scum and an oxigen thief.
FloppyDiskDrives@reddit
It’s kinda chaotic, but I like it.
PVanchurov@reddit
The first four are horrendous, it's like the architect forgot to stop architecting and overdid it. Afterwards things drifted towards normalcy.
