MOORISH HALL- is Charles Lecompte du
Nouy’s creation and it has a marble
fountain, a copy after the one in Cairo.
THE THEATRE- it has 60 places and a
royal box.
THE ROYAL APARTMENT- it was arranged
in 1906 during the visit of Franz Josef
(the king of Austro-Hungary).
The most important halls to visit are:
THE HALL OF HONOR- it is huge, with
paneled walnut, lined with bas-reliefs and
statues. The mobile glass ceiling turned
on by an electric motor was a surprise for
the King’s visitors, who could admire the
sky on a summer night. It was finished in
1911.
THE ROYAL LIBRARY- it is an attraction
especially for people who love rare books;
but there is also another attraction: a
secret door behind a book-shelf, where
the King used to ‘’escape’’ to other rooms
of the castle.
THE ARMOURY- arranged between 1903
and 1906, it shelters over 4,000
European and oriental arms.
THE MUSIC HALL- it has become a hall for
hosting musical evenings. The furniture
was brought by Kapurtala Maharaja.
Peles Castle is a work of art that
impresses its visitors owing to its rich
decorations and warm atmosphere, which
gives you the feeling that it is still
inhabited. It is a place where you would
expect to hear laughter and music from
the ballroom, where you could always be
invited for a cup of tea!
