- Peles Castle - Nestled in the heart of Romania, Peles Castle appears as if it has stepped out of a fairy tale. This enchanting castle, located in the mountain resort of Sinaia, was the summer residence of King Carol I and draws visitors from around the globe with its stunning beauty.
Two years ago, international journalists included Peles Castle, along with Corvin Castle in Hunedoara, in their list of Europe’s most spectacular buildings. Peles Castle is a key attraction in the Prahova Valley, situated in a breathtaking location where tourists can enjoy the fresh mountain air.
Construction of the castle began in 1875, inspired by King Carol I, who was captivated by the area’s beauty during his first visit to Sinaia and decided to build a castle there. The choice of the Prahova Valley for Peles Castle was strategic, as Predeal was historically the border between Romania and Austria-Hungary.
Thanks to a nearby power plant, Peles became the first electrified castle in Europe.
