Kasteel Peles
The Neo-Renaissance Peleş Castle (Romanian: Castelul Peleş), built between 1875 and 1883, is located in the Romanian city of Sinaia.
The castle, which has only served as a museum since the communist era, has more than 160 rooms, decorated in very different styles, including German and Italian (neo) Renaissance, (Neo) Gothic, German Baroque, Moorish, Turkish and Art Nouveau. In the rooms are many precious royal possessions exhibited, including carvings, furniture, stained-glass windows, weapons and paintings. On June 5, 2008, the ex-king of Romania, Michaël I, announced that he retires in Castle Peleş, the royal castle from which he was expelled by the Communists in 1947. Visitors to the museum in the castle can not only view valuable items in the future, but also run the old king. History Prince Carol (later king Carol I of Romania 1839-1914) of the dynasty dynasty Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen built the castle by Viennese architect Johannes Schultz of Lemberg. On August 10, 1875, construction began. The castle was officially opened on October 7, 1883.
By the Czech architect Karel Liman, the neighboring castle Pelisor (small Peleş) was built between 1896 and 1914.
The Peleş Castle was the summer residence of the royal family. The castle is named after the nearby brook of the same name. Externe link
