Pelișor Castle
Castelul Pelișor
"Little Peleș" just beside Peleș Castle, a Art Nouveau residence built for Queen Marie, with a gilded chapel and golden bedroom as its highlights.
Pelișor Castle stands in the same forest as Peleș Castle, a few hundred meters north of it. It was built between 1899 and 1903 for King Ferdinand and Queen Marie. Its exterior is in a German Renaissance-style timber construction, while the interior features Art Nouveau decoration that Queen Marie helped design personally. The golden bedroom and the gilded chapel are the most refined spaces. It is smaller than Peleș and gets fewer visitors, so it's easy to see on the same day. It requires a separate ticket. Check the official website for opening days; it is usually closed on Mondays and has closures in winter.
Opening hours
Approx. 9:15 AM–5:00 PM; usually closed Mondays (check official website)
