In the past view, I showed this beautiful castle outside. And today I want to show that it is in a variety of halls and rooms of this castle, additionally at the bottom of the report will be video from there.
The entrance to the lock is paid and that it is necessary to get there to tolerate the turn quite large. I went to her about 30 minutes. The cost of the ticket 50 lei and it does not include photos and video shooting. This requires a separate ticket. I did not buy and mowed under the fool, I will definitely ask him in the castle, I answered Russian and lagged behind me. And this is an expanded ticket, there is a simpler not all the halls, but it is cheaper.
1. When you only enter, you already understand that everything is not so simple. Everything is made quite beautiful and expensive. Many details.
2. Traditionally, the castles and museums inside the dark and the camera did not want to make a focus and a bunch of smeared photos. I will try to not show the worst, but there are almost no good. 
3. Chic glass ceiling. I think I have never met such earlier. 
4. The castle has its own theater. The brightest hall of all. 
5. The scene at the theater is very small 
6. There is even your body 
7. Another room with a bunch of seats. 
8. In the same castle, many exhibits. But if you consider that the castle is not an old, then all items here are old only relative. 
9. Beautiful spiral staircase to which is closed. 
10. How do you like such a table? 
11. Huge vase with dragons. Awessenger 
12. In fact, if listening to the guide, which is there and is included in the price, then the walk time will take 2 hours. But in Russian there is no, I did not steam and went myself. Moreover, there are always hands and heads in the frame in the frame in the group. 
13. Bathroom, looks quite modern and interesting. 
14. Picture. I ask for a part for not very interesting sorry pictures. The reason is all that. I did not pay photos and they were constantly walking, tried to ban. Therefore, all the photos because of the people and what would have seen control. 
15. Almost all furniture that is in the carved castle. And sufficiently high quality and interestingly made. I love this 
16. Pictures are not signed, so I can not give comments on them at all. As with other subjects. They are just worth it. Only a guide, but not to understand it. 
17.
18. Such a style I don't really like how the past and this is Photos 
19.
20. And this is like a tourist room with plates. 
21. Another bathroom 
22. In fact, each hall and room have a name. Even in the same Wikipedia. Therefore, I propose to interactively compare photos with descriptions there. At the same time, it is better to learn and read, where the theater, halls, office, bedrooms, and so on and that there is an interesting thing. 
23. And now from unusual, which was not in other photos. In fact, always when I did photos. Behind me stood such crowds of people. Traffic here is just a huge, make a photo without people is always hard. Therefore, I also show this option. 
24. On the recommendations will definitely say that the castle is worth what to visit him is not for the sake of exhibits, namely for the sake of rooms and halls. To take a walk on it, feel the atmosphere and not even necessarily go into details, read everything and study. 
25. Find me 
26. Style is all in a bunch. Here I do not like this 
27. Most of all enthusiastically and show this room. Armory. He is really cool and here a lot of things on the walls, but here the most tourists, only the ceilings and photograph 
29. 
30. Here is this wall cool, here weapons just went out how much, tear and all in meat. 
31. Yes, and I almost forgot, there are very beautiful doors everywhere where they are 
32. Beautiful and stained glass windows, although they are not very much 
33.
34. 
35.
36. Almost all the halls have a fencing on both sides and it turns out a narrow pass from a bunch of tourists. Which if you get up, then create traffic jams. 
37. Very cool chest 
38. Turkish room with stained glass windows, pretty cool. 
39. That's all. In fact, these are not all halls and rooms, but only a part and only what happened to remove. You will be in this city, do not rush and highlight 2-3 hours on the castle. 
And here is the video that promised:
Earlier from the trip.
Pelesh's castle is located on a medieval path connecting transylvania and valahius, in a picturesque place, Karpat, not far from the city of Sinah in Romania. The castle was built in the neo-bearing style between 1873 and 1914, his inauguration took place in 1883. His name gave him a mountain river flowing nearby. Currently, the castle is a historic monument. Castle has more than 160 rooms. All of them are elegantly decorated and luxuriously furnished. Here are the rich collections of works of art, which include products from silver and gold, porcelain, furniture, armor and weapons, carpets and tapestries, European painting and sculpture.
Karol I Gogenzollerne-Zigmaringen
King Kalol I (1839-1914) first visited these places in 1866, they reminded him of native Germany, and he was forever captured them. In 1872, these lands (approximately 5.3 sq. Km) were bought by the king, and they became referred to as the royal domain of Sinai, intended to become royal hunting grounds and the summer residence of the monarch.
King Romania Karol I (generally sounds, yes - the king - Kalol I) was from the Hans (generally Transylvania, the Gansa and was removed, to this reason it looks quite decently unlike the steppe Bucharest), so the German motives are immediately felt in the castle.
Near the palace there are terraces with a bunch of sculptures, they look great, in general the place is very ethetic, and the palace and statues and nature, everything is wildly beautiful and the soul just rejoiced.
Monument to Carol I.

The first three architectural projects of the castle actually copied other Western European palaces, and Karol I rejected them, because they were too expensive and insufficiently original.
Architect Johann Schulz introduced a more interesting project that I liked the king: a small palace or, rather, a spacious alpine-style mansion, combining Italian elegance with aesthetics of a German non-hereniss. The cost of construction (for the period between 1875 and 1914) was estimated at about 16 million Golden Romanian lei (approximately 120 million modern US dollars).
The castle was laid on August 22, 1873. At the same time, other buildings were built related to the castle: a guard house, a hunting house, royal stables, etc. In addition, a power plant was built, and the Peles became the first electrified castle in the world. Three or four hundred people constantly worked on the construction of the castle.
Elizabeth Neuvidskaya
Queen Elizabeth during construction wrote in her diary:
The bricklayers were the Italians, Romanians built the terraces, Gypsies were black-worked. Albanians and Greeks worked on stone, Germans and Hungarians were carpenters. Turks burned brick. Engineers were Poles, and the Czechs - Stone Sharpets. The French have drew, the British were measured - there were hundreds of people in national costumes who spoke, sang, swear and chatted for fourteen languages \u200b\u200b...
Construction has slightly suspended during the Romanian War for the independence of 1877-78, but then the case was then very accelerated. Ball about the inauguration of the castle took place on October 7, 1883. In 1893, Karol II was born in the castle of Peles, filled with a sense, a complained castle by King Kolember I - "Cradle of the dynasty, cradle of a nation."
Kalol II.
In 1947, after the forced renunciation of King, Michai Communists confiscated all royal property, including the estate and Pelsh Castle.
For some time the castle was opened for tourists, and in 1953 declared a museum. The estate also served to rest Romanian cultural figures. In the last years of the Communist Board, between 1975-1990, Nicolae Ceausescu closed this territory for visits, only attendant personnel and security service were allowed here.
It is curious that Ceausescu did not like the castle and rarely visited it. They say that the museum workers are knowing that Cheta Ceausecu is suffering from health-related phobias, announced that the building is infected with a dangerous fungus Serpula Lacrymans, which in the 1980s was really quite common, but hit only the wood.
After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, Peles and Pelishor Castles were again open for tourists. In 2006, the Romanian government announced the return of the castle to the former king Mihai I. Soon after gaining the king of his property, negotiations between him and the government resumed, and the peles again became the national heritage, open to the public as a historical monument and the museum. In return, the Romanian government transferred to the Royal House of Romania 30 million euros. Since its opening, Pelesh's castle takes almost half a million visitors annually.
In 2008, the castle was used on the filming of the film "Brothers Bloom" - the neighborhood of the castle depicted a large estate in New Jersey, the housing of the eccentric millionaire Penelope (in this role Rachel Weiss was shot).
Since its opening, Pelesh's castle takes almost half a million visitors annually. But, unfortunately, there are almost no Russians among them. For this reason, both excursions in Russian, unfortunately, do not conduct here either. The main entrance rises the statue of King Carol the first, the work of the Italian sculptor Rafanello Romanelli, he belongs to the statues from Carrarsky marble, located on seven charming Italian terraces surrounding the castle and made in the style of non-hereniss. The Park is also a monument to Queen Elizabeth, depicting the spouse of Karol first for embroidery - traditional Romanian art. Gardens and terraces are decorated with fountains, urns, stairs, lions, beautiful statues and other decorative details.
The collection of weapons and armor includes more than 4,000 items.
Be sure to pay attention to the hall of the European weapon. It is decorated in the style of German Renaissance. Here are collected unique and rare copies of European weapons of the 15-19th century. Also in the castle of the Pelsh is the hall of oriental weapons. Here are various types of weapons decorated with gold, silver, precious stones, corals. The most valuable of them are Turkish weapons - half a gun, half a dagger.
The first architect of the castle was the German Johann Schulz (1876-1883), his successor was the Czech architect Carl Liman.
In terms of its structure and functions, Pelesh is a palace, but everyone with love is called his castle. The main architectural style is neoress, but in the half-timbered facades of the courtyard with their luxuriously painted walls, Saxon influence is felt, and in the interiors decorated with rich carving on a tree and sophisticated tissues, the influence of the baroque is noticeably.
The Pelesh Castle has 3200 m² of area, more than 160 rooms, 30 bathrooms, luxuriously furnished and exquisitely decorated.
A secret door from the library through a spiral staircase leads to the king bedroom on the third floor. The library in the Pelesh Castle is about 800 volumes. The rest of the books, and about 10,000 of them were in a permanent royal residence in Bucharest.
Design and dining decor are made using a huge amount of different wood species, including exotic wood. German Baroque furniture. Original stained glass windows made by Munich masters depict the scenes from the life of the German nobility. On the ceiling and on the chairs of cordic skin coating.
It has one of the best collections of works of art of Eastern and Central Europe, which includes sculpture, painting, furniture, weapons and armor, gold and silver products, ivory products, porcelain, carpets and tapestries. The collection of weapons and armor includes more than 4,000 items.
The highest room in the castle of the Peles - the front lobby. Its height is 12 meters, which is equal to the height of three floors of the castle. Parade Lobby - the highest room of the Pelsh Castle - 3 floors, 12 meters of height. The parade lobby reproduces the famous German trading chamber in Lübeck. Furniture here in the style of Italian Renaissance. Initially, the parade lobby served as an inner courtyard, but at the request of Hozaev, in 1911, was covered with mobile roof, which is currently moving forward for airing room.
On the panels of the parade lobby, two rows of alabaste bas-reliefs (marble plaster), which depict mythological, biblical and historical scenes. Rich Ma Rketchy on the walls depict 18 castles in Germany and Switzerland - the residence of the Dynasty of Gaugrennov. The ladder carpets are made in the best workshops of Bukhara, Mosul, Ssparty and Smyrna.

Since everything in the castle, the Peles gives the originality, then even the ceilings architects could not get around their attention. Instead of standard ceilings, ceiling stained glass windows installed in the castle. And not just stained glass, but sliding stained glass windows. They do not spoil the general ensemble, but only complement it. With the help of these stained glass windows, the castle's natural ventilation is still carried out.

Location
The castle is located in the north-west of the city of Sinai, 60 km from the city of Brasov and 135 km from Bucharest, the capital of Romania. From Brushov to Sinai, there are buses with an interval in half an hour-hour, from the Bucharest station Gara de Nord regularly walk on Brasov, stopping in Sinai, time on the way - about 2 hours.
Sinai's tourist complex also includes Pelishor Castle, located next to the Peles Castle.
Pelesh's castle spread out on the shore of a mountain river, whose name he is wearing. This is a diamond in Eastern Europe's castles necklace, this is the pride of the Romanian kings. The external decoration is similar to the castle of a sweet fairy tale. He is something similar to a fabulous castle of ice cream and cookies. But at the same time, it differs from all funeral and pompous castles of Western Europe. His stylist can designate like a light Swiss chalet. It is incredibly sparkling, there is just a dazzling architecture, but in something, still, there is a restraint, dissimilar to all other locks. Most likely, winning the mixture of styles?
Architects Wilhelm Doder from Vienna and Johann Schultsu from Lviv was to solve a difficult task, but they coped to the "Hurray". They just took all the most famous architectural styles at that time and mixed them in the same building, so that all this did not look chaotically. The construction of the castle was conducted from 1875, under the ready leadership of these two geniuses.
The castle was built simultaneously with the power station on the river flowing nearby, so the Peles, this is also the first electrified castle in Romania. Not in vain Karol gave the castle the name Pelsh, which meant the cradle of the nation. When Karol was the first at death, he commanded his son to make a museum from Pelo. After the death of the father, Karol the second, as the obedient son fulfilled his death will. The castle began to work as a museum, remaining royal possessions.
If you are looking for a castle, rich in externally and internally, then better than a pour you do not find! A huge number of sculptures, a gorgeous park around, incredible frescoes on the walls, about a wood carving, which adorns the facade of the house, interior decoration, walls, furniture go legends. This is the richest castle of Europe. Not enough and year to study all his treasures.
You can talk about this castle for hours. He perfectly entered the architect in the surrounding landscape. Snow-haired cream building with dark wood trim, Ostroeja Turkey, many patterns on the windows, on the roofs, on balustrades. And everywhere frescoes. Supplement the picture of beautiful lights in the park, many sculptures.
Pelesh's castle and Pelishor in Romania at the ski resort Blue are near, which allows them to visit them at the same time for 1 day.
Given the time spent in the castles of Pelsh and Pelishor visiting Sinai in 1 day you can still have time to see the monastery of the Sinai and the Museum of the Natural History of the Mountains Buchegi at the foot of which all this is located.
A visit to each castle in the group takes about 1 hour, the total cost of entrance tickets in both locks, taking into account the permission to photograph about 30 €, which is not very little for Romania. Carefully examine the time of work of both locks, since the schedule for each day is your own, as well as a large number of non-working days, and sometimes whole weeks when the locks are closed.
Road in Zama Peles
From Sinaia Station to Castles to go 30 minutes to the mountain, on the distance it is only 2 km, and throughout the road there will be indicable signs. It is enough to get out of the building of Sinai Station and climb the steps to the Dimitrie Ghica Park (Dmitry Gick), and then look for pointers.
In the fleet itself, you can look at 3 leu in.
Even slightly higher on the road will be with an entrance ticket 5 lei.
Monastery Sinai The further rise in the mountain will be among the residential buildings, most of which most likely surrender to the resort ski season. Houses in Sinai often copy the architecture of Pelesh's locks and Pelishor, so do not be surprised if you see a large private house reminding the castle in miniature.
Already on the approach to the castles, a colorful building will appear, which is like a castle in his own type, and this is just a restaurant and a hotel. Also, here there is a small market with souvenir traders. It is better to look at the market after visiting the castles, after the impressions of what seen it is easier to choose souvenirs and magnets.
Pelsh castle
With the veranda of the restaurant / hotel shown above, the building of the Pelesh Castle will be seen on the slope in the trees.
My visit to the castle Peles fell on a large annual two-week prevention when the lock is closed for visits. Perhaps for the best because The entrance ticket and permissions for photographing costs 65 lei.
In the rules of visiting the castle, an interesting mark is that the photos of the indoor interior can only be used for a personal archive and forbidden to lay out the network. A strange decision, but the organizers apparently decided that the fewer photos on the network the more people would want to visit the castle. And the castle is registered in Romania as a brand and a trademark, which is also diverted with world practice when the brand is more expensive and more popular.
Even outside, not the entire lock can be inspecting, the photo shows that some passages are closed. Finding on balconies because of this did not work.
This castle was built on behalf of the first king of Romania Carol I, built a lock for a long time from 1873 to 1914, as they built practically at his naked place and had to build both infrastructure in parallel. Not forgotten during construction and about modern technologies - it was the first electrified castle not only in Romania but also in the world, for which the power plant had to be built.
Monument to the first king of Romania Karol I Also near the castle there is a monument to His wife Queen Elizabeth, as well known by the pseudonym Carmen Silva.
Near the next sculpture, few people pass by without making a photo. Lion has very pronounced eyes, which makes pay attention to all passersby. Lion or evil either frightened.
Do not forget to look into the courtyard of the lock where the walls are decorated with a bright painting, also in the courtyard is a cashier.
Though in the castle I did not come, but the information that inside was still found, in the castle more than 160 rooms, but not all are available for inspection, only 35.
Not far from the castle of Peles is a small castle of Pelishor, whose interiors I also could not see, because I did not have enough time. When approaching the castle there is a plate with a ticket and ticket price.
If you briefly, a visit to the Pelishor Castle will cost 52 leu, and if you look at the same information on the official castle of Pelnis and Pelshore, then just more expensive 55 lei.
The lock is less than the previous one, there are only 70 rooms here, but at the expense of its compactness looks cozy. It was built from 1899 to 1903 with the castle of Peles as a summer residence for the heir to the king of the tribe of Ferdinand.
Cashier and the entrance to the castle itself are also in the courtyard, as in the castle of Peles.
If you get around the castle of Pelishor to the left, then you can simply not know. Come closer from the facade will not work because Everything is overclocked by barriers, chains and warning signs. And for those whom all this will not stop there is also a booth with guard, it was empty in my visit, but I didn't want to risk.
It was the last photo and I want to say that pelesh and Pelishor Castle in Romania It is worth a visit well prepared and learn not only the time of work in advance, but also to take into account the possible technical prevention about which is reported in advance on the site of the locks. Also the mercy of Morally to give for this pleasure about 30 € at the rate.
Pelesh's castle and Pelishor is a very popular and promoted place in Romania and the main attractions of Sinai, tourists here in large numbers even at cool weather in October. So imagine what will be here in the tourist season.

Peles is one of the most beautiful castles of Romania. The architecture of the Eclectic Building, there is a lot of things: both Rococo, and Baroque, and Renaissance. The terraces are columns and fountains, on the roof - several towers.
The Peles got his name by the name of the river, which proceeds in the park around the castle. The park ensemble itself is worth a little walk. It's very beautiful here: terraces, fountains, statues. At the entrance to the castle there is a statue of Karol I. And in the park you can find the sculpture of Queen Elizabeth, which is busy with embroidery.
The collection of weapons in the castle has more than four thousand copies.
The construction of the castle began in 1873 and lasted several decades. Carol I and his spouse Elizabeth were engaged in construction, in whose letters you can find a lot of references to the construction of the Pel. The castle opened only in 1883, but then the restructuring continued. Since the Peles was built in the middle of the 19th century, all advanced technologies of that time were used. Peles became the first castle in the world where he had electricity and even installed an elevator. A little later, in 1916, a cinema was even made in the castle.
In the building of 160 rooms and 30 bathrooms. Everywhere rich interior: ebony, porcelain, cord, oriental carpets, tapestries, gold and silverware, paintings, sculptures, ivory. Chandeliers in the castle are predominantly from an expensive Muranian glass. Windows - from stained glass painted by hand by Masters of Switzerland.
The most interesting premises are considered the King Library (more than 800 rare volumes) and its working office (not fully decorated, because the king died in the midst of work, and everything was decided to leave so), a dining room, a visual hall (a cinema was located there), meeting room and the halls of the Eastern and European weapons. The collection of weapons has more than four thousand copies. The most valuable exhibit is an original subject from Turkey: half a gun, half a dagger.
Still to look into the musical, Moorish, Florentine, East, Turkish halls. By names, it is clear which styles are these rooms.
After World War II, the castle was nationalized, made a publicly available museum out of it. But by the end of the government, Nicolae Cheresska Peles closed for visitors and turned into a residence for the country's leadership. And Nicolae Ceausescu himself also rarely visited the castle. According to the legend, this is to blame the museum workers who have entered the rumor that in the castle a lot of malicious fungus, and Ceausescu was pretty suspicious in terms of his health.
After 1989, the Peles was again open, and in 2006 the government Romania returned the castle of the royal family. Interestingly, the dynasty refused the Pellers, but in return "asked" 30 million EUR in return from the country's leadership. The request was completed, and finally Pelesh found the status of the State Museum. Every year, the Peles is attended by about 500 thousand people.
Peles is open to visitors every day, except Monday. In November, the castle does not accept visitors. Opening hours: from 10:00 to 16:00.
