Peleș Castle In Romania

A neo-classical masterpiece, Peles Castle or Castelul Peles in Sinaia, Romania, was the summer home of the Romanian royal family from 1883 until 1947. Nestled within the Carpathian Mountains, Peles Castle was built along an existing medieval route that linked Transylvania and Wallachia and is today considered one of the most beautiful castles in Europe.

Peles Castle was the first ever European palace to be powered by electricity, created in its own power plant, and to have central heating.

With a wealth of artwork in over 160 rooms, including thousands of paintings and sculptures, today Peles Castle houses the Muzeul National Peles, exhibiting these many pieces to the public. There are guides in several languages for those who want to join a historic tour of the lavish interior.
