Often considered a masterpiece of German new-Renaissance architecture, Peles Castle is called one of the most stunning castles in Europe. This is due not only to the actual castle structure itself, but also to its picturesque surroundings on the foothills of the Bucegi Mountains. The castle was constructed for King Carol I in the early 1900s. The museum is closed on Mondays but there are many tours available, depending on the extent that a visitor would like to explore on any other day of the week. The most notable aspects of Peles Castle are the Imperial Suite, which is thought to be a tribute to Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I, and the Hall of Honour, which is filled with exquisite stained-glass panels, sculptures, and carved woodwork.
