I actually visited this stunning place about 5 years back, Romania is an incredible country and I highly recommend seeing it for yourself!
What an encyclopaedic, incredible knowledge the presenter has of the castle, he clearly loves the castle and it’s a delight listening to him.
Could be reading a teleprompter
@@lindakorbel6018 Nope :)
@@lindakorbel6018 i dont think so...he knows everything from his heart. no dull moment he surprise me after surprise.
I do agree with Julian. He obviously is extremely knowledgeable and his English is excellent!
@@teddybear3552 Yes, especially the use of the articles.
Simply Gorgeous, havent ever seen a castle like this one!! Love guy giving the tour of this beautiful castle he is perfect for this tour
This is the most beautiful place ive ever seen. Wow
This castle was so over the top, every room is spectacular. The money, creativity, the best of the best materials used in every room & in all the furniture...just so amazing. What a wonderful video.
I visited the castle in spring 2017. It was sunny, albeit a bit chilly, when we arrived. But when we were about to leave around 2 hours later, unexpectedly it started to snow. The view of the castle covered in snow was unbelievably beautiful.
Truly a Total work of Art, each room decorated to it's fullest with even the tiniest detail being carefully crafted.
An ode to human artistry and beauty above a royal residence.
The woodwork is just amazing…wow
i am Romanian and ive visited the castle several times, its only a 2 hour by train trip from where i live. Its truly a beauty, although different in style from other european castles. Its interesting that is visited mostly by foreign tourists and less by romanians. Its also touching to see a foreign documentary about it, especially because romanian youtube channels, television and tourism companies are not interested in it. Maybe because after the comunism era most people lost touch with the royalty beautiful contributions to this country. What i would say though that this documentary lacks is the breathtaking view of the castle from the outside and the beautiful hand painted walls that can be seen from the interior courtyard. They are a fairy tale beauty.
GREETINGS FROM POLAND !!! YOU HAVE AMAZING CASTLE !!! I VISITED IN ROMANIA EFORIE NORD, SUD AND CONSTANZA-BEAUTIFUL PLACES !!!
Romanian is the nicest immigrant I have ever had pleasure of meeting in America. Would definitely want to see the country and experience.
As a Romanian I'm sure that my fellow Romanians don't visit it because the tickets are a little expensive.
@@yesman1743sure*
All I can say is WOW!!
I'm a great lover of hand crafted woods. As that type of artistry is rare these days. And OMG, the gorgeous woods used along with the craftsmanship is just phenomenal! Just breathtaking!
What a magnificent palace. Really enjoyed the guided tour. Thanks to the very knowledgeable Gentleman, for that very impressive historical commentary. c”,)
This castle looks amazing on film, however, seeing it in person is breathtaking. I saw the palace in 1991 or 1992 when Romania started reopening to tourists. We were skiing in Sinaia but spent most of our days taking in the history of this area. Sinaia was once a stopping point for the rich and famous, in its golden days, it was on the route of the old orient express. It had a magnificent Casino similar to Monte Carlo, an amazing hotel called the Palace Hotel & it has a Monastery. It is well worth a visit.
A collection of the best woods, ceramics, carpets, and so on, made by the best craftsmen, with a nod to so many wonderful places in the world. One would never tire at finding some new wonder to enjoy. Thank you so very much.
I feel completely overwhelmed by what i saw. There's so much to see ! All the wood and the carvings . Thanks, great tourguide also
I'm literally gobsmacked, awestruck, and stunned on how beautiful this castle is. I can't even imagine what it would be like to live in something so grand and beautiful. The talent of those who hand carved the wood, those who made the linens, the table settings, the decorations, statues, the steamed heating units in the corner of the rooms, and on and on. I'd love to spend a weekend walking through this castle without being rushed. You certainly don't see such grand buildings now. There is no pride in the cookie cutter copy cat homes of today. It's just slam bam thank you ma'am dealings. I hate it. I LOVE all the European castles and grand buildings of the 17th and 18th century.
It's from the late 19th century.
@ar-chickadee Your comment is excellent! I totally agree with it!
The craftsman's job is the only job a computer cannot do.
@@noahmcdarby5417Yet!
Well said!
I was shocked. That is spectacular. Thank you for your amazing guidence.
Woo! Wow! Wowee! Whoo! Whoa! Woah! Interest 💯🏰 I love you Romania Forever Forevermore Foreverland
I’m soo impressed I cannot believe the opulence and beauty of the castle. Each room is a wonder to behold. I’m so taken back by artistry, incredible carving of furniture, paintings, stain glass, statues, decorations, and so much more. I find myself overwhelmed by all the visual beauty I cannot express in words the magnificent living arrangements afforded royalty. It’s like looking into heaven and getting a peek of indescribable home for the holy.🇺🇸🇺🇸🌹🌹😄❤️🕊🕊👍👍😇😇💕💕
The opulence comes from all the murders.
Many Many and Mostly the buildings from this time period were built to this caliber.
I echo your sentiments. In the US, we consider bean board as an architectural element. Lol
Wow! And what an amazing representation of the history and features by a very personable guide! Many thanks!
Love watching castles. 🏰. They are full of history.
I was so impressed when I visited Peles, it left me breathless. I think, this is not only the most beautiful castle of Romania and Eastern Europe, it beats the majority of all castles and palaces of the rest of the world. Throw away Neuschwanstein, go visit Peles!!!🤗🤗🤗
I think it would be fabulous to visit both. Please don’t make me choose. They are so very beautiful with wonderful and talented artisans. The presenter did a great presentation.
About as impressed by the articulation, presentaion and recall of the presenter as I am by the workmanship everywhere. No wonder it took that long to build. The care and attention of the craftspeople is phenomenal
Thank you so much sir for this beautiful tour through the castle!
We went there about 20 years ago, after moving to Bucharest for a year.....it is absolutely beautiful!
Спасибо за экскурсию. Сколько труда нужно, чтобы поддерживать мебель и деревянный декор в таком прекрасном состоянии. Я в восхищении.
I think this is the most elaborately decorated and beautiful castle I have ever seen.
I think a bit of the exterior would not have gone amiss.
Best tour of a castle I have ever seen! this man is so nice to listen to and very knowlegable, no annoying music or constant cut scenes, the castle iteself is like nothing I have ever seen before.
Thanks !
Magnificent castle and very well presented in this video.
Excellent tour guide. Made this experience magnificent!! Impressive place. Thank you!
this is the best tour i've(been)seen. the tour guide is phenomenal and the castle is breathtaking. so magnificent.
OMG, this castle is beyond gorgeous!!
The castle’s physical beauty is an incredible tribute to all the tradesmen who labored long hours to create their contributions to this castle!
But what is also extremely impressive is that the 1st
King & Queen were so multilingual & that Queen Elisabeth was such a talented musician, poet, & author! Just awe inspiring!
Thank you for this very informative video!
Excellent Tour of a most distinguished Castle. Amazing decor.
It must be an Art spending your life Designing, Building, Decorating and Furnishing such A stupendous Place.
@undwallace has never seen anything like that before. Amazing! Definitely a world treasure...🌎🌏🌍👑😁😺😺 xxxooo.
WOW !!! SUPER CASTLE !!! GREETINGS FROM POLAND
This is the most beautiful castle in the world according to my taste and judgment. Everything from the smallest to the biggest details inside the castle were intricately designed and the decorations collected from around the world were just magnificent. I wouldn't dream of leaving the castle even for a minute if I lived there. So beautiful like in a dream...don't wake me up, pls!
If you like stupendous detailed interiors, may I suggest to you most of France's Kings castles like Versailles or any Italian renaissance palaces... Peles Castle is honestly very nice but France and Italy masterpieces are a world apart from this.
@@Turbo999be They are wonderful, but they fail to capture both the grandeur AND coziness of Peles. There's something comforting and inviting about this place. I would take Peles over the others any day.
What a magnificent castle!
Amazing tour. Thank you.
I have never seen such beauty, the woodwork, the furnishings, all the carpets very exquisite, must be very expensive to maintain such a place
Great job on the presentation! Give that man a raise!
Stunning
Exquisite castle. The presenter is very knowledgeable about all of its features, would love to visit.
Peles Castle can stand on its own proudly with Versailles, Windsor,
the Winter Palace. Schoenfeld or the Hearst Castle. Fabulous insight into Romania and her people.
What has Romania and romanian people to do with the castle?
@@lilis555 What are you on about, the castle is located in Romania and was built for the Romanian king. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Romania today.
@@omi685and yes, the royal family still owns it.
@@lilis555 everything
Simply gorgeous ,so enchanting and magical.The furnishings are exquist and so elegant .This Castie is truely a Treasure. Thank you for the wonderful tour,enjoyed every bit of it.Great Job on the History of the Castle also.
I’ve been to this castle. It’s stunning! This was one of our stops on our Romanian tour.
A beautiful castle and a great tour guide! Thank you for showing us this special place. I hope to visit some day.
It truly is the most decorative and beautiful castle I have seen. Such exquisite art and perfection should not belong to one family. Who imagines they are so important and above others is really banal.
Amazing woodwork! So much beauty everywhere you look
the wood carving is amazing, i could spend days looking at it
@@chadsimmons6347 If you want to see more about wood carving, the place you need to go is Maramures. There in open air you could spend days, because every entrance in any house they have carved doors.
I can't help by being impressed at the abundant fine workmanship of this place. A spectacular exhibit of the craftsmen who created stunning woodwork marquetry, leather covered walls, fine art and fabrics, porcelain and more. Stunning and I would love to visit! or own! y'know.....just to have friends over for a simple BBQ or something.
What a spectacular, beautiful palace, the wood work is an amazing testament to wood carvers of their day, probably one of the more beautiful ones I have ever seen. The gentleman leading the tour did an excellent job explaining the history.
I was there on 2nd April 2017, exactly on my birthday. A bright sunny spring day. An unforgettable experience! Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you for your comment. It was also for us an unforgettable experience there. Magnetic place. We loved it.
It is absolutely GORGEOUS! Just gorgeous!
I have nothing seeing in Europe more beautiful than this castle.
Would love to see this in person! It has to be totally amazing! Being an emeployee would be so wonderful and you would feel you were really living in this Royal family in some way, Am postive only very special peole are allowed to do anything like that. Very lucky indeed to be part of such a rich heritage even in this way. This narrator is wonderful and he certainly knkows every part of the home perfectly.

Really enjoyed this tour thanks to the very knowledgeable presenter. Beautiful castle.
Thank you so much for this fantastic tour of this beautiful castle! I was there once on a mission trip and we came to view the castle! Unfortunately it was closed that day! Now I have seen it and it is gorgeous!
The amount of wood work is mind boggling. Seems like it would take a 100 years just to create all that.
I knew nothing of this castle and only a little about the monarchy. Thank you for this incredibly detailed tour and the explanation of all the treasures, quite overwhelming. I feel inspired to learn more about the monarchy.
Hello 👋 how're you doing?
You are a wonderful host for this program. Thank you for taking us this beautiful journey 👌
What a treat this video was! Marvellous castle, lavishly decorated and modern. The guide has the right narrator intonation. And I must thank you so much for choosing not use music in the editing, it makes the video so much comfortable, almost an asmr.
He looks like the king. 🌹👏🏼. Thank you. Glorious
Even Queen Elizabeth II does not have her private apartments in such splendor !!!
Thank you for the tour!
How do you know???
@@Gwennif
She is shown in them from time to time.
@@Gwennif She lives in squalor.
The castle is a beautiful work of art. Thank you for the tour.
Замок великолепен. Особенно понравилось использование дерева в его оформлении. Это самый экологичный материал. Глаз отдыхает на всей этой красоте. А шикарная библиотека, а бильярдная!
Beautiful video of an exquisite building. Thank you.
He did a perfect job!!!!! Thank you!!!
Stunning.
Very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Thank you very much for sharing this magnificent caste and it’s history great presentation
Incredibly beautiful...well narrated
I love castle visit. This castle is magnificent!❤️ Thank you for the tour!😊
You’re welcome! Glad you appreciated this tour. Don’t hesitate to watch the other ones on the channel :)
Oh my goodness this tour guide is the most knowledgeable guide I have ever seen. This is such an opulent and historic castle. This was a joy to see, thanks.
Wonderfully interesting ! I would need GPS in that castle ! Lol
Just beautiful, really enjoyed👏👏👏🌎🇪🇨
Just subscribed! Amazing video! From Barcelona👍😊
My last trip over to Europe included a few days in Transylvania and many other gorgeous areas of Romania. Y'all have no idea how beautiful this country is, how nice the people are, and how much they love grits too!! (Mamaliga) Actually, Romania is one of the most pro-USA of all the EU countries (fun fact). The Carpathian mountains (a major spruce source for acoustic guitar snobs) are every bit as beautiful as the Alps in Switzerland. If you can survive the insanely aggressive drivers in Buchurest, you are in for a real treat in the countryside as well! Multumesc, y'all! :)
Very true😂
Hi from Romania!God bless you!
17:03 He painted that with his FEET?!?!?!? That's absolutely amazing. Even if done with both hands it would still be amazing. The fact he painted that with his feet is completely mind-blowing.
Spectacular castle!! Thank for giving us such a wonderful tour.I really appreciate the history you shared with us!!!! Merry 11th day of Christmas from Vermont
Aside from the beautiful woos everywhere I thought our tour guide was very professional with great diction!
❤️Amazing
Outstanding..Thanks Foreverything💞💎💘
This looks incredibly well maintained 😮
I have been to Versailles and Peles , the Peles castle is itself a work of art , everything is detailed , all the furniture inside is art , i can not imagine someone used it as it all seemed priceless . The setting of the castle in the mountains is also spectacular . The only better things at Versailles was the gallery of battles and crusades rooms
I ran out of adjectives... Wow!
How stunning
I really like the German style rooms with its wooden panels. Beautiful designs and carvings with wood.
Exquisite! 🥹
stunning . i would love to visit this castle .
Beautiful ,very nice tour.
An incredible masterpiece for the carved wood!
