Comment
Nestled at the foot of Bucegi Mountains in the picturesque town of Sinaia, Peles Castle - considered by many one of the most stunning in Europe - is a masterpiece of German new-Renaissance architecture.
Commissioned by King Carol I in 1873 and completed in 1883, Peles castle served as the summer residence of Romania's royal family, until 1947. Peles castle's 160 rooms are adorned with the fine European art: paintings by great artists, Murano crystal chandeliers, German stained-glass windows and Cordoba leather-covered walls. Each room is decorated in a different style or theme. There is a mini-Theatre, Music Room (India), Turkish Salon, Great Salon (Italy), Council Room (Switzerland), Moor Hall, and so much more.
