Peles Castle, a masterpiece of German new-Renaissance architecture, is considered one of the most beautiful castles in Europe. It was commissioned by King Carol I in 1873 and completed 10 years later. Its 160 rooms are adorned with the finest examples of European art, Murano crystal chandeliers, stained-glass windows, procelains, etc. Each room was furnished to reflect a different European country. And, it was the first European castle to have central heating and electricity produced by its own electrical power plant. Peles Castle is also surrounded by seven terraces and gardens, with statues everywhere. |
