Visit Peles Castle

Romania is a country full of beautiful tourist attractionsPeles Castle is one of these popular sites that draws foreigners to its gates. Located very close to Bucharest, the castle and its smaller counterpart, the Pelisor castle, are a remnant of Romania’s monarchy. 

Romania’s cultural and historic heritage as well as its landscapes are just some of the reasons why dental patients choose to book a longer vacation when visiting the country for dental treatments abroad.

The history of the Castle

Peles is a beautiful Neo-Renaissance castle located in Sinaia, Prahova county. Its construction started in 1873 and was inaugurated in 1883 but construction works continued here until approximately 1914.

King Carol I of Romania decided to build the castle after a first visit in the beautiful forests at the base of the Bucegi Mountains. The Peles was built according to the project presented by German architect Johannes Schultz. Additions to the castle were made by other foreign architects. King Carol I and Queen Elizabeth lived in the castle and King Carol II was born here. 

During the communist regime all royal property was seized. However, the castle was declared a museum in 1953. After the Revolution, the Peles Castle and the Pelisor Castle were declared heritage sites and were opened for public visitation.
