A monument that can be considered as the only one
of its kind on the territory of our country, the
Peles Castle proves its importance as a museum,
arousing interest among its numerous Roma-nian
and foreign visitors, first of all through the
per-sonal character of the interpretation in
the spirit of the second half of the 19th century
given to the building in itself, as well as to
a series of internal parts, reminding of the
16th-19th centuries of the history of styles
