Peles castle

Located in  Sinaia  (44 km from  Brasov), Peles Castle is considered by many one of the most beautiful castles in all  Europe . It was the final resting place for several Romanian  monarchs  including King Carol I, who died here in 1914.

The building of the castle began in 1873 under the direct  order of the Viennese architect Wilhem Doderer and was continued in 1876 by his assistant, Johann Schultz de Lemberg. During 1877-1879 because  of the war  they abandoned work. That's why the castle was inaugurated only on October 7, 1883. The location for the castle was chosen by the German prince Carol I de Hohenzollern, who was to become a king and it draws its name from the neighboring brooks which passes through the courtyard.
