About Peles Castle

Visit one of the most picturesque castles in Romania that is nestled by the foothills of the Bucegi Mountains. The architectural splendor of the castle certainly makes it one of the nicest places to visit in Romania. It is a wonderful example of a Neo-Renaissance castle with intricate workmanship and awe-inspiring architecture.

The castle was commissioned in the year 1873 by King Carol I and had been used as a summer residence by the royal family until the middle of the 20th century. This is also the first castle in the whole continent to not only have electricity but also boast its own power plant. Explore the 160 rooms of the castle, each of which has been adorned with European artworks, German stained glass windows, and crystal chandeliers. Although most of the items from here have been transferred to the National Arts Museum in Bucharest, it is still one of the most beautiful places in Romania.
