The Manu-Auschnitt House (Casa Manu-Auschnitt) is a a historic monument along Bulevardul Aviatorilor in Bucharest.
The Manu-Auschnitt House was built in 1915 for magistrate Ioan (Iancu) Manu and his wife Elisabeta (Zetta) Cantacuzino. Zetta was the niece of Grigore Gh. Cantacuzino, who served as Prime Minister and owned the Cantacuzino Palace. The house was designed in a Louis XIV style by the architect Grigore Cerchez as a copy of the Biron Palace in Paris, which houses the Rodin Museum.
After losing most of his fortune due to the crash of the Marmorosch Blank Bank, Manu was forced to sell the house to the industrialist Max Auschnitt in 1932. In 1948, the house was nationalized and became the residence of Prime Minister Petru Groza. After his death in 1958, the house became a guest house for diplomatic visitors and later it housed the embassy of Argentina.
After 1989, the Manu-Auschnitt House was returned to the rightful heirs of the Auschnitt family, who went on to sell it to the businessman Gigi Becali. In 2006, the building was restored.
