Pelişor Castle
With full wide-angle distortion/splendor. I was shortly chased off by guards. Not knowing the language very well it was a little difficult to figure things out when there were special tours going places I wasn't allowed.
Closed for preservation. It's the off season between sun and snow. Although . . . I think they might be able to start up a fall color season.
An Art Nouveau castle finished in 1903 for the heir of King Carol I Romania, the future King Ferdinand (1914-1927), grandfather of the Michael I (1927-1930,1930-1947).
Michael at age 89 is the last surviving European head of state from World War II. He was forced to abdicate power in December of 1947 by Stalin.
