Pelișor Castle in Sinaia, Romania, is a stunning example of Art Nouveau architecture and serves as a smaller counterpart to the larger Peleș Castle. Built between 1899 and 1902, the castle was commissioned by King Carol I for his nephew, the future King Ferdinand, and his wife, Queen Marie. Pelișor Castle features 99 rooms, each adorned with distinctive decorations and furnishings that reflect Queen Marie’s artistic influence and personal style. The castle is also noted for its Golden Room, decorated with gilded thistle leaves, and houses various pieces of art and furniture designed by the queen herself.
