About the place
Pelișor was built between 1899 and 1902 by the Czech architect Karel Liman and decorated by the Viennese Bernhard Ludwig, at King Carol I's wish. From 1903 it was the summer residence of Crown Prince Ferdinand and Princess Marie, and their children grew up here. It has 99 rooms, against about 160 at Peleș.
Queen Marie decided much of the decor and mixed Art Nouveau with Byzantine and Celtic motifs. The hall of honour is panelled in oak and lit by a stained-glass skylight. The Golden Room has walls decorated with thistle leaves, the emblem of Scotland, and the golden bedroom has gilded limewood furniture made in 1909 to the queen's drawings. It holds 4.6 on Google from about 3,600 reviews.
