Castelul Pelișor

Pelisor Castle stands in Sinaia, on the Prahova Valley, near the grand Peles Castle, to which it is closely tied. Built in the early twentieth century, Pelisor was conceived as the residence of Crown Prince Ferdinand and his wife, Princess Marie, the future king and queen of Romania. Unlike the splendour of Peles, Pelisor has a more intimate and luminous air, with interiors in the Art Nouveau style, decorated according to the refined taste of Queen Marie.

The best-known room is the Golden Room, a remarkable space adorned with gold leaf and motifs inspired by folk art. The castle preserves furniture, tapestries and personal objects of the royal family, offering an authentic image of court life. Set in the same park as Peles, within a splendid mountain setting, Pelisor is a delightful visit for enthusiasts of history and decorative art who explore the Prahova Valley.
