The village of Cerneţi, lying in the Topolniţa Plain, 5 km north-east from Turnu Severin, relates to a large share of Tudor Vladimirescu's activity. Tudor, leader of the Revolution of 1821 in Wallachia, used the mansion both for his domestic needs and for storing weapons, in order to start the uprising. He set foot here for the last time on the 29th of January 1821, when the troops of the rebels headed from Ciovârnăşani to Strehaia, under Macedonschi's leadership.
