This is an iconic building in a key location in the city and it certainly merits being restored to its former splendour to provide for social and community activities. The following proposed actions and recommendations are put forward in the report: The technical and financial report was formulated on the basis of the outcomes of a four-day mission in Romania undertaken from 8-11 June 2018, during which representatives from Europa Nostra and the European Investment Bank Institute visited the Constanța Casino and met with local and regional stakeholders. Following many years of alternating commercial and state held responsibility for the building’s care, the Casino has been abandoned since the 2000s. Daniel Renard, the Swiss Romanian architect who designed the building, opted for a lavish expression of Art Nouveau to reflect Romania’s modernisation during the reign of Carol I. Europa Nostra, the leading heritage organisation in Europe, and the European Investment Bank Institute today published a technical and financial report for the rehabilitation of the Constanța Casino in Romania, listed among the 7 Most Endangered heritage sites in Europe in 2018, following a nomination made by the ARCHÉ Association.īuilt in 1910, the Constanța Casino has become a landmark of the Black Sea shore.
