Pelișor Castle (also called "Klein Peleș") is located around 1.5 kilometers northwest of the city of Sinaia in Romania . Peleș Castle is located about 300 meters down the slope from the listed castle .

history

King Carol I had the castle built in the chalet style between 1899 and 1902 for the later King Ferdinand I and Queen Marie of Romania . The client commissioned the architect Karel Liman to plan the palace. The architect had previously been commissioned to carry out further construction work on Peleș Castle.

In 1947 the communist regime confiscated the castle. Later the Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu stayed temporarily in the castle. At that time, the Romanian architect Camil Roguski was responsible for the decorative furniture. After the Romanian Revolution in 1989 , the Peleș and Pelișor castles were returned to the ex-King Michael from the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen , who was living in exile in Switzerland .

Furnishing

The half-timbered structure and the bay windows of the castle are reminiscent of both the Romanian kuk era and Hohenzollern . The artist Bernhard Ludwig was responsible for the furniture and interior decoration. The queen was instrumental in designing the rooms. Some of the 99 rooms can now be visited. The castle museum has a collection of furniture and decorative objects, as well as a valuable art and history collection.
