Peles Castle is located in Sinaia, on the Prahova Valley not far from my town. Peleş Castle is one of the most important historical buildings in Romania, having a unique character and was, through its historical and artistic value, one of the most important monuments of its kind in Europe in the second half of the 19th century.
Built as the summer residence at the request of King Carol I of Romania, the castle remained the residence of the royal family until 1948 when it was taken by the communist regime. In 1953, Peles became a museum. In 2006, the castle was returned to King Mihai I of Romania. However, the King expressed his wish that the palace should continue to host the Peles National Museum. Occasionally, the castle is used for major events of national significance organized by the Royal Family.
If you come to Romania, do not hesitate to visit it. It is located in an amazing landscape.
Location: Sinaia, Walachia – Southern Romania

The Peles castle must be a great heritage site with a tastefully done landscape.
What a dream castle this is, it is so beautiful……I have not seen Europe at all, it is very expensive for me to visit come to Europe…but if I get the chance I will go.
I love such architectures (castles)!!
I’ve never visited one though, at least not outside of Asia.
I have never had the pleasure of visiting. The castle looks so cool!!
You are too far and I am convinced that Romania is not much known there.? I assure you that it is a beautiful country with welcoming people!
I traveled all over Europe for work over the years. Just never had the occasion to stop in Romania!
The castle in your homeland is one my bucket list.
I’m glad to hear that!?
You are very welcome since the only castles I have seen is on television.
Never visited Romania but I wish to visit some day
I hope you will one day get through these places!
It’s a stunning photo! How I wish I could visit the place too.
Perhaps one day this will happen! Who knows!
It looks so majestic. I love old castles, a piece of our ancient history. It touches.
Such castles are no longer built nowadays. It is important to keep them. They are part of our past!
Beautiful architecture with those high towers. The landscape around it is absolutely magnificent and so well kept. I would just love to visit it one of these days…
The castle was built according to the plans of German architect Johannes Schultz.
Never visited and never seen a castle. How stunning.
The old castles are pretty attractive and bring old history closer to us.
I have not visited Romania, but there are many cultural monuments I have the desire to see. Great place.
Besides its cultural and historical objectives, Romania has many natural beauties worth visiting
