This beautiful Neo-Renaissance castle is located in the Carpathian Mountains, a couple of hours north of Bucharest. It was built by King Carol I of Romania and inaugurated in 1883: it was the world's first castle fully powered by electricity and heating took place through the walls. The wonderful interiors are all original except the carpets. Unfortunately at the moment the exteriors are covered by scaffolding for restoration works. The entrance ticket costs 13€: I visited it during Halloween period and I had to wait 2 and a half hours in line to get in, so I wouldn't suggest coming here in this period. The visit lasts about 50 minutes.

A beautiful experience and a walk through the past. The castle and its surroundings are extremely fairytale-like, the only pity is that the exterior of the castle is currently being fixed, so we could not see it in its full glory.

A very nice castle to visit. As it has its own iconic interior to see, explore, and learn its history. Although it’s still renovated however when we came here. But it’s a magnificent site to visit.

We were a group of nearly 30 people visiting here on a Sunday. It was very busy and there were long waits before we were able to enter the castle. Once inside, we were impressed with the fantastic carved wooden walls and all the decorations in the various rooms. The reception hall just above the first staircase was perhaps the most impressive, but there was much to admire in other rooms as well. Much of the exterior was covered in scaffolding as there was a restoration project underway, so we missed the postcard view of the whole castle from the grounds.

Really nice castle. Everything is super detailed and well made. It carries a lot of history for Romania. I highly recommend as an attraction. You better get the “tour” of all three floors and then skip the tour and walk by yourself while avoiding other groups. It’s not worth it being cramped with others in small spaces. First floor is by far the most impressive but still make the effort of going upstairs too. You won’t regret it.
