Bucharest to Transylvania Day Trip

Peles Castle

Bucharest to Transylvania Day Trip – Peles Castle has about 170 rooms and was the first entirely electrified castle in Europe. This was possible because electricity was supplied by the Electric Plant on the shores of the Peles stream. It is also important to know that Peles is home to one of the most important and most valuable collections of paintings in Europe – about 2.000 pieces.

Peles Castle was built at the initiative of King Carol I to serve as a summer residence. At the same time, other annexes were raised, such as: Guard Corps, Economat, Foisor House, Gardens, Electric Plant. The “Sipot” Villa was built a little bit later and became for a time the work of the architect Karel Liman. Until the Peles Castle was finished in 1883, King Carol I and Queen Elizabeth lived at Foisor House.
