Eminescu's Linden Tree

Local name: Teiul lui Eminescu

The silvery lime is probably the oldest tree in the Copou Garden and has the status of a natural monument. According to various studies carried out in 2011-2013, her age was estimated at 458 or 540 years. The tree is associated with the romantic poet Mihai Eminescu, who lived in the 19th century, whose bust stands next to the lime tree.

Nearby is a small museum dedicated to the life and work of the poet, inaugurated in 1989 on the hundredth anniversary of his death. You can view an exhibition of books, documents and photographs. The museum building was built on the site of a nineteenth-century hunting pavilion. At its entrance there are two towers, symbolizing Love and Friendship. Every year, the museum hosts a festival dedicated to the famous tree, during which an exhibition presenting its development is presented.

Over the years, the lime was destroyed several times by wind and disease. Currently, its trunk and branches are reinforced with metal supports.
