Peles Castle

Peleș Castle is the former residence of the kings of Romania, full of furniture, ornamental objects, carpets, tapestries, sculptures, paintings and weapon collections from the 15th -19th centuries.

As you approach the castle, you’ll be captivated by its fairy-tale appearance, with ornate facades and lush, forested surroundings. Inside, the castle reveals a world of opulence with its richly decorated rooms, intricate woodwork, and exquisite art collections. Take a stroll through the beautifully landscaped gardens and capture some photos.

Cantacuzino Castle

Our next stop is Cantacuzino Castle, the former summer residence of Prince Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino, nicknamed "The Nabob" due to his impressive wealth, located in the resort of Bușteni. The building, built in 1911, bears a great architectural, historical, documentary and artistic value and spreads over a vast area of about 6 hectares. The architecture of the castle is made in neo-Romanian style, with neo-Brancovian elements. The castle park is similar to European royal parks, being laid out with paved alleys, artesian fountains, a grotto, trees, flower gardens and sculptures. It also offers the most beautiful panoramic view in the entire area! Due to its special charm, the castle has hosted, over time, several international productions (films, series, TV commercials, videos etc.). The castle became famous as a result of the most recent production filmed here, the mini-series "Wednesday", the exterior of the castle representing the Nevermore Academy.
