maggies 0 Posted September 25, 2008 An amazing shot of a grand old home or small castle..terrificly dark, eery colors...has a haunted feel to it...only a few leaves remain on the trees indicating it is time for Halloween! The days are passing too fast...where did the summer go?...Great shot...My best..Marjorie Link to comment

krpradu 125 Posted September 25, 2008 King Carol I of Romania (1839-1914), one of the great Romanian kings and conqueror of the National Independence, first visited the region and future site of the castle in 1866. On August 22, 1875, the foundation for Peleş Castle was established. The cost of the castle itself between 1875 and 1914 was estimated to be 16 000 000 gold Romanian lei(approx. $US 120 million today). Peleş Castle was host to grand figures guests from royalty and politicians to artists. One of the most memorable visits was that of Kaiser Franz Joseph I of Austro-Hungary, then one of the world's most powerful men, on 2 October 1896, who later wrote in a letter: The Royal Castle amongst other monuments, surrounded by extremely pretty landscape with gardens built on terraces, all at the edge of dense forests. The castle itself is very impressive through the riches it has accumulated: old and new canvases, old furniture, weapons, all sort of curios, everything placed with good taste.. Link to comment
