Why Peles Castle matters
Peles looks like something from a children's book: turrets, timber details and ornate interiors set among tall trees. It was the summer residence of King Carol I, and the rooms are filled with carved wood, stained glass and works of art. It is one of the most elegant castles in Europe and a must-see for any visit.
Talking points
- It was built in the late nineteenth century.
- Interiors are richly decorated in wood and stained glass.
- The setting is mountain forest.
