Cozmești is a commune in Iași County, Western Moldavia, Romania. It is composed of three villages: Cozmești, Podolenii de Jos and Podolenii de Sus. The Sturdza Palace from Cozmești village was built in neo-Gothic style in 1816 by the treasurer Grigoraș Sturdza, based on plans drawn by the architect Iosif Demesovic. Mihail Sturdza, the ruler of Moldavia between 1834 and 1849, built a second floor of the palace. The estate was inherited in 1884 by his son, Grigore Sturdza. Currently, the palace hosts a youth placement center. The Sfinții Voievozi Church is also located in the village of Cozmești; it was built between 1901 and 1908, and was consecrated on April 5, 1909. The church was included in 2015 on the list of historical monuments from Iași County.
