Satul unde a locuit Regele Mihai, după 23 august 1944. Conacul Petrescu, reședință regală pentru 3 săptămâni • Newsweek România

After August 23, 1944, King Michael sought refuge in Dobrița, Gorj, for three weeks due to German bombings. The Petrescu mansion served as a safe haven, chosen for its strategic location near an airfield. During this time, the King interacted with locals, showcasing his modesty. Following the signing of the Armistice with the Allies, he returned to Bucharest, facing challenges as Romania fell under Soviet influence, leading to his abdication in 1947.
