2. Pelişor Castle (Romanian: Castelul Pelişor [kasˈtelul ˈpeliʃor]) is a castle in
Sinaia, Romania, part of the same complex as the larger castle of Peleş. It was
built in 1899–1903 by order of King Carol I, as the residence for his nephew and
heir, the future King Ferdinand (son of Carol's brother Leopold von
Hohenzollern) and Ferdinand's consort Queen Marie.
Pelişor was designed by the Czech architect Karel Liman in the Art Nouveau
style; the furniture and the interior decorations were designed mostly by the
Viennese Bernhard Ludwig. There are several chambers, working cabinets, a
chapel, and "the golden room". Queen Marie herself, an accomplished artist,
made many of the artistic decisions about the design of the palace, and
participated in its decoration, including as a painter. Queen Marie considered Art
Nouveau a weapon against sterile historicism, creating a personal style
combining Art-Nouveau elements with Byzantine and Celtic elements.
The hall of honor is very simple with the walls covered with oak-timber and a
glass ceiling.
