Various historical landmarks in Romania and Moldova are undergoing restoration and rehabilitation projects, often supported by European Union or National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) funding.

In Romania, major efforts include the final phase of restoration at Corvin Castle in Hunedoara, which is slated for completion by 31 August 2026. In Sighișoara, restoration and consolidation works on three sections of the medieval citadel wall have been completed, funded by a 12.267 million lei PNRR allocation. In the Apuseni Mountains, the Colțești Fortress has reopened to the public following a two million euro PNRR-funded project that included the transformation of the Thoroczkay-Rudnyanszky Manor into a tourist information center. Additionally, the Teleki Géza Castle in Pribilești is undergoing a 61 million lei rehabilitation funded by the European Regional Development Fund, with completion expected by August 2028.

In Bucharest, the historic fence of the ‘Ion Heliade Rădulescu’ School is being rehabilitated to preserve the protected Kiseleff area. This project involves consolidating 40 fence sections and restoring ceramic and wrought iron elements.

In Moldova, the former ‘Red School’ in Fălești is being restored through the ‘Interreg Next Romania – Republica Moldova 2021-2027’ program. The project aims to transform the degraded building into a cultural and tourism center featuring exhibition halls and craft centers for wood processing, sewing, and weaving.
