Peleș Castle
Castelul Peleș
Peleș Castle is a late 19th–early 20th century Neo‑Renaissance palace in the Royal Domain of Sinaia, Romania, built as the summer residence of King Carol I. The hilltop complex comprises the main Peleș building with numerous towers and terraces, plus nearby Pelișor and Foișor lodges; today it functions as a museum and occasional royal residence.

As it stood in 1914
What Peleș Castle looked like in its prime.
Perched on a forested Carpathian slope, the palace reads as cream‑coloured stone façades pierced by dark, steep slate roofs and many conical and octagonal towers, the tallest central spire rising to 66 m. Timber fachwerk, carved wooden balconies and bay windows contrast with pale masonry; broad stone terraces with balustrades and Carrara marble statuary step down the hillside. Rooflines are jagged and picturesque, ornamented with finials and metal spires; the whole appears complete and finely finished.
