Beautiful Peles Castle, near Sinia, Romania is really more of a palace rather than a castle. Yet no matter what you call it, it is a magnificent example of interior craftsmanship and certainly one of Europe’s most beautiful castles or palaces. The construction of the castle began in 1873 under the supervision of Wilhem Doderer, a Viennese architect, for Romania’s King Carol I.
Even our three-star hotel, next to the castle, was a delight to look at:
