Location

Sinaia, Romania


 
We then drove to the Peles Castle, which was the King's summer palace. Unfortuanly the place was closed on that same day so we could not see it from inside. During the communist period, the state took over all private property including this palace. Now that democracy is restored, the state has given back the palace to the royal family, but the king himself cannot come back because he is not permitted to enter the country. The royal family is not as rich as it used to be, and does not have the money to maintain the castle. This is why the castle will be given back to the country in the future. Nearby there is another castle called 'The little castle' which was built for the Queen since she did not like the king's palace. That castle is much more modern.
