Itinerary
Peles Castle is the most impressive castle in Romania and a must-see attraction if you’re passionate about stories of royalty, splendid architecture, and history. The summer residence of the royal family until 1948 when it was confiscated by the communists, the castle from Sinaia is today, like in its first years, one of the most beautiful in Europe.
The Pelisor castle is part of the vast architectural ensemble created by King Carol I, along the Peles river’s valley, during the entire period of his reign. It was built between 1899 and 1902, as a residence for the Royal Heirs to the throne of Romania, Prince Ferdinand and Princess Marie.
The centuries-old Sinaia Monastery borders the winding road to the beautiful Peles Castle. With a history that goes back 300 years, marked by a special relationship with the royal family, and with two churches built 150 years apart, this venerable monastery is a must-see landmark of Sinaia.
