On February 7, 1901, Alexandrina Polizu marries the lawyer Nicolae Gr. Polizu-Micsunesti, the head of the country bar, farmer and friend of Iuliu Maniu. Thus, the mansion and the Maxut estate become the property of the Polizu-Micsunesti family.

An elegant carriage pulled by two powerful horses is now taking us towards the castles, the courtyards of the Ghica brothers, Messrs. Constantin Ghica, from Delenii lui Maxut, and Grigore Ghica from Delenii Cantacuzinilor. The house of the first opens all its windows on an infinity of green hills, golden valleys, which stop at a blue line that resembles the face of the distant sea. The big roses are still blooming, the fir trees with their dark needles surrounded the house, the water rotted by the drought gushes from the wide pool whose swans have taken shelter in a corner of coolness. With the gestures of a retired general, who would also be a great tycoon, Mr. Constantin Ghica guides us through the paths of the shining garden. N.

During the First World War, she accompanied her husband in refuge in Moldova, working as a charity sister in military hospitals, an activity that made her popularly known as the "mother of the wounded". During the refuge, Queen Maria also visited the Maxut estate, marking this visit in her memoirs: Arrival at Harlau, which is so full of war memories. […] warm welcome at the station. The Polizu spouses, the young Ghica-Deleni, General Zadic, officials, etc. (…) The rest of the day was spent more or less at Macsut, where their hospitality is truly Moldovan.

In April 1944, Russian troops occupied Tg Frumos, Harlaul and the mansion, destroying the buildings and looting the wine from the cellar. In the vicinity of the mansion, they built a Russian military hospital and a headquarters at the mansion. The domain was released only in August 1944. The testimonies of the villagers recall the atrocities committed on the sheds, the library and pieces of furniture. 24,560 volumes belonging to the family were burned, all the pieces of furniture were either destroyed or stolen, the walls and doors were defaced, and all the architectural decorations were thrown away.

After long trials, the legal heir Irina Ioana Riscutia succeeds in obtaining by retrocession the estate from Maxut and Conacul, in a very advanced stage of degradation.

The website of the manor is put into operation and many guests from Romania and abroad want to step on its threshold due to the history, beauty and sincerity of the domain, the staff and the surrounding nature.

A complex consisting of an outdoor pool, a sauna and a pool terrace are added so that the Polizu Domain forms a versatile space.
