This is not a public building.

The kula was built at the end of the 18^th century by the garrison chief Alexandru Vlangalis (Alecu Vlangăr). Originally, it had four floors. During the peasant uprisings in 1907, the last floor, which was open, burned and it was not rebuilt. In the rebuilding works after the fire, the kula was modified: the windows were widened and reconfigured.

The kula is a three-storey compact and rectangular building. The fourth floor, a turret open on all sides, was destroyed by fire at the beginning of the 20^th century. The living quarters are located inside, on every floor, and they are accessible from the staircase. The embrasures have been turned into windows.
