Where is the Peles Castle in Romania. History and Ethnology

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.

Excursion to Peles: how to get there to see, the cost of entrance tickets and opening hours. What are the hotels near the Castle Pelesh. Why not - after all, in Sinai stunning places!

Pelesh's castle got its name from the river, which flows near him. The initiator of its construction was the King Kalol the first, which in the early 1870s. Holded a new home for himself and his family. The work personally controlled the king and his wife. The construction process is partially described in the questions of Queen Elizabeth to Carol first.

Construction of the castle

According to letters, the date began to start the construction of the structure, the foundation of which was laid in 1873. Despite the fact that in ten years the royal family moved to the castle, finishing and construction work launched two more decades. The feature of the castle was the technical innovations that were invented at the end of the 19th century. At first, electricity appeared here, and then the elevator was supplied. During the First World War, a cinema was opened in the castle.

Architecture and interior of the palace

In the appearance of the castle, the pell is combined with several styles - from Rococo to Renaissance, resulting in a mixed eclectic. It manifests itself everywhere: in the design, decorative elements, furniture. The terraces of the building were put columns, fountains, and the roof was decorated with towers. The entrance to the castle begins in the park, in the middle of which the royal residence is worth. A statue depicting Queen Elizabeth was put here.

Inside the castle, the peles is decorated in the same mixed styles. This was the consequence of the fact that every owner of the castle tried to improve his interior. At the same time, oriental motives and classic European architectural styles are clearly traced in it. The windows in the castle are stained glass, which were painted by Swiss masters.

A hundred and sixty rooms and thirty baths were built in the castle. Each room is decorated in a unique style. The main materials of the interior are leather, tapestries, gold and silver, china. The pictures of famous artists in Europe and the world are hung on the walls. In many rooms, sculptures are placed, precious dishes, antiques.

Visitors' attention attracted chandeliers raised in the central halls of the castle. They are made from Muranian glass, and were specially delivered to.

Opening for visitors

The castle until the end of World War II belonged to the Royal Dynasty, but since 1945 he was inevitable - nationalization. N. Ceausescu believed that the museum was worth doing here. In the late 1980s. He was closed, and became the residence of the head of state. After the collapse of the communist regime, the Peles Castle was again open for visitors. An attempt was made to transfer it to representatives of the royal family, but they refused.

Fortunately for travelers and connoisseurs of elegant architecture, Peles Castle again became a museum who annually attend almost five hundred thousand people.

Peles Castle in Romania - One of the most beautiful and fabulous castles of the country. Romania, as you know, is the birthplace of the world famous Count Dracula. There are many interesting and beautiful castles in the country, but Pelesh's castle stands out on their background. There is no definite style or direction at the castle. The architect of this castle Johann Schulz joined in his creation such styles like Baroque, Rococo and Renaissance. There are several towers on the roof of the Castle, and fountains and columns are located on the terraces.

The inner part of the castle Pelesh in Romania is also not a certain style. Each owner left here a part of himself and his culture. Therefore, the castle together Moorish patterns in combination with Renaissance, Turkish ornaments together with the Baroque style. These combinations do not interfere with each other and look very impressive. Romanian castle has 30 bathrooms and 160 ordinary. In the interiors of all rooms, elephant bone, ebony, tapestries, paintings, silver and gold dishes were used.

The Peles Castle is the King Library, which has a large number of interesting books. Not fully made the working office, as the king died, and the office was left as he saw him. It is also worth visiting a dining room, meeting room and weapons. Weapons in the castle a lot, the collection has more than 4 thousand copies.

The castle received its name from the river nearby. The history of the castle Pelesh begins at the moment when King Romania Karol I conceived to build a little residence in the Carpathians in the Carpathians. The construction of the Castle Peles began in 1873, and ended in 1883. But after his opening, the castle continued to rebuild. King Elizabeth's wife, together with her husband, participated in the construction of the castle. In her letters you can read a lot of references to construction. Since the Romanian castle of Peles was built in the XIX century, it was used the newest technologies at that time. There were electricity and installed an elevator, and in 1916 the cinema was made in the castle.

After World War II, a museum was opened in the castle of Peles in Romania. But after a certain time it was closed, and the castle became a residence for the country's senior management. In 1989, the museum was re-opened.

In 2006, the Romanian authorities returned the castle of Peles Royal family, but the family offered to sell it to the state for thirty million euros. After completing this request, the castle of Pelesh received the status of the State Museum. About five hundred thousand people attend the castle annually.

The entrance to the castle is paid, and prices vary depending on the time of excursion. You can walk on the castle only with the excursion group. Excursions in the castle of Peles in Romania are most often carried out in English.

Pelesh Castle, located near the resort town of Sinai, it is one of the most beautiful castles of Romania. The peles was built in the period from 1873 to 1914 in the style of non-herenissance and at the moment refers to historical monuments.

For the first time in 1866, in places where the castle of Peles was built, the king visited Karol I. The place remained forever in the heart of the king, reminding him of his native Germany. A few years later, he bought these lands in order to build hunting grounds and a summer residence on them. The first architectural projects of the Peles Castle were practically a copy of the Western European palaces, but the monarch refused them, referring to insufficient originality and high cost. As a result, it was decided to build a small palace in Alpine style. Translated into a modern course, the cost of construction of the castle in Romania was estimated at about $ 120 million.

Such a magnificent view opened on the road to the castle of Peles. Wrags, isn't it? We have already thought that this kind is the most beautiful on these lands, but we hurried. The closer to the castle we approached, it became more interesting.

If the city is called "Pearl Carpath", then Peles can be bolded to call the pearl of the city itself. Interestingly, in the guidebooks published in the 1970s -80s, there is not a word about the castle of Peles. And the thing is that the building was used as one of the residences of the Clan Clausca, so the castle gate was closed to the public. Maybe for this reason, the queues of those who want to visit royal rest are built here.

In 1990, after the revolution in Romania, the Castle of Peles was opened for tourists. Attendance can be attended throughout the year, except for November. A visit is possible exclusively as part of the excursion group. I assure you to see it with your own eyes you just need.

Before the castle, the Peles posted a powerful road, cars do not miss there, have to be left in the parking lot. The entrance costs 25 Romanian lei. And still need to wait for a while - depending on the number of sightseeing groups. But during the waiting you can shoot in the courtyard with a fountain. Here is such elegant painting and stucco on the courtyard wallsthat gives the castle Pelsh special beauty.

So, already having the first enthusiastic impressions of the castle, we go inside. At the entrance, everything is necessarily dressing the boots. Excursions, as far as I understood, are held not only in Romanian, but also in English and German. Rooms in the castle of Peles are a lot, but only some of them are available for visiting. It is also not allowed to pass inside the halls, you can only observe from the side.

The highest room of the castle is the main lobbyHis height is 12 meters.

We especially struck two rooms: the refectory and arms hall. The trapes are fully separated by a tree, there are elevators for feeding dishes from the bottom kitchen, expensive sets ... in general, the dining room is furnished as if the reception is about.

Peles Castle is incredibly luxurious: brilliant architecture, a large number of sculptures, frescoes on the walls, wood carving, rich antique furniture. You can list infinitely. The collection of weapons is especially valuedwhich includes about 4,000 items from both Europe and from the east.

In the castle of Peles, the area of \u200b\u200bwhich is more than three thousand square meters. meters, numbered more than 160 rooms and 30 bathrooms. It is a pity that during a 30-minute excursion do not show bedrooms and bathrooms.

It would not say that the inner courtyard of the Pelesh Castle is big, half an hour is quite enough to walk here, consider the details, enjoy different views of the adjacent forest and the Carpathians.

In 2006, Peles Castle was bought by a state for 30 million euros. In addition, many famous films were shot here. Therefore, I confidently recommend you to visit the castle of Peles in Romania!

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.
