Pele? Castle is a Neo-Renaissance castle in the
Carpathian Mountains, near Sinaia, in Romania.
This castle was used as a summer residence by the
kings of Romania, built at the wish of the first
Romanian king, Carol I (1866-1914). The
castle was a museum from its first years, opened
when the royal family did not use it, the tickets
sold financing Queens Elisabeta charity works.
After the castle was confiscated by the communist
regime, most of the art collections were
transferred to various art museums
