During the late 1940s , a communist regime in Romania confiscated , then collectivized , the family 's land in Năsturelu , as well as the Academy 's plot there . The palace at Herăști , devastated by a fire in 1931 , was also confiscated from the Stolojans . Eventually restored to its original state in the 1960s , it was latter assigned to the Romanian Village Museum . In parallel , Udriște Năsturel 's work was being reviewed by a new generation of scholars , including Dan Horia Mazilu , with his first-ever monograph , published in 1974 . Of the landmarks associated with Udriște Năsturel , Sfânta Vineri Herasca did not survive the communist period : heavily damaged in the March 1977 earthquake , it was restored , but then swiftly demolished as part of the Ceaușima campaign
