Doftana prison

The prison Doftana is located in Prahova County in Romania and was built in 1895. During the 1930s, were there political prisoners, including Communists as Nicolae Ceauşescu, Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej and Chivu Stoica, who would later occupy central positions in the Socialist Republic of Romania. The later Methodist pastor Richard Wurmbrand was as PCR member and Communist inmate there, and the Transylvanian Saxon politician Rudolf Brandsch died there in 1953. Fascists But as Corneliu Codreanu and Horia Sima Zelea were imprisoned there.

Doftana is located a few kilometers from the city Campina and was named after the river Doftana. The prison was converted in 1945 into a museum, in which the detention period of the communist country's founder was thought. After the revolution of 1989, during which the former inmate and Doftana Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu was summarily executed, fell into the museum. Today, the prison Doftana is used as a venue for paintball.
