Built at the turn of the 20th century, Pelişor was the summer residence of Romania’s last queen, Marie, and her husband, King Ferdinand I. Although part of the larger Peleș Castle complex, Pelişor stands out with its distinct Art Nouveau design, heavily influenced by Queen Marie’s personal taste. Known for her strong will and influence over the king, the queen left her mark on every detail of the palace’s interior. From gilded ceilings to Celtic-inspired motifs, the décor reflects her unique vision. More than just a royal home, Pelişor is a tribute to her spirit and artistic sensibility. Perhaps most strikingly, Queen Marie’s preserved heart lies within, waiting quietly in a golden shrine—a moving symbol of love and legacy
