My native place

Manuc Bey
The mansion of Manuc Bey ( officially: historical-architectural complex Manuc Bey, from Romanian Complexul
istorico-arhitectural Manuc Bey) is a modern palace and is located in the city of Hânceşti in the central western part
of Moldova. It consists of a larger building complex: Manucs Palace, the Steward's House, the hunting lodge of
Countess Çadır, a watch tower and other buildings.
The palace is located in the southern part of the city on the northern slope of a hill on the edge of the park. An
avenue leads from the entrance to the castle. Because of the slope of the site, you can only see two floors from
above. The castle is designed in the spirit of French classicism with large windows and loggias. The inner walls to
the terrace were decorated with frescoes and equipped with niches for statues. The palace property was enclosed
with a wall that was demolished in the late 1950s. All parts of the property are said to have been connected to the
palace by glass galleries.
Grigore Cotovschi's monument

From 1944 to 1965 Hincesti was renamed Kotovskoe in honor of Grigori Ivanovich Kotovski, a
leader of the Red Army during the civil war who was born here. In 1965 the commune was declared
a city and its name was changed to Kotovsk. Kotovschi's monument still stands in the center of the
city and one of the streets bears his name. Since 1990, the city resumed its old name of Hincesti.
Mihai Eminescu's monument

Mihai Eminescu is the most prominent representative of national poetry, known not only
by every inhabitant of the Republic of Moldova, but also throughout the world. He was a
true patriot and subtly knew folklore, some verses of his work became popular songs.
