    Pelișor Castle image
    Pelisor castle was built at the very end of the 19th Century as a private residence for the heirs to the throne of Carol I, Ferdinand and Marie and reflects many of the relevant design features of the time. As such, Art Nouveau interior design features heavily in the house and fans of this genre will find the house a delight. The one exception is a dazzling ‘Gold Room’ covered almost completely in 24 carat gold leaf. It is a complete contrast to Peles castle being much more understated (apart from the one exception above) but very refined and equally good. Although all the explanatory boards are in Romania, English written guides are handed out on entry. It is generally much less crowded than Peles. See more..

    Cantacuzino Castle image
    Cantacuzino Castle was the summer residence of Prince Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino, nicknamed "The Nabob" due to his impressive wealth. 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 most recent production filmed here is the mini-series "Wednesday", the exterior of the castle representing Nevermore Academy. See more..
