as a woodworker this is truly the most beautiful architecture i have ever seen. I found myself pausing the video and staring at the carvings to try and plan out how i would even begin to carve it. Came to the very easy conclusion that i couldn't, they are truly masterpieces created by some of the best craftsman in the world.

[saideragaming]

I think we can all agree that the level of carving in this castle is above master level.

I’m so amazed by the breathtaking beauty of this castle and how well they preserved it over the years! The wood pieces all look almost brand new.

Mr. Costin Dumitru's narration makes the visit ten times more immersive, exquisite presentation of this castle.

[dumitriudaniela]

feeling proud as a Romanian, whenever i see a Peles castle video. Every time i go there to visit, there is this wide street through the forest that takes you to the castle, and then there is this moment when you take a turn and just like magic, the castle just appears in its full beauty on the hill and it just takes my breath away every single time i see it. Sometimes i go there just to spend an afternoon in the courtyard, watching tourists, absorbing the splendid architecture and paintings on the interior yard walls.

[gailhowes]

I live in western Canada, I have never in my life seen such an opulent and well thought out the carefully matching decor to please the eyes upon entering each room! Amazing !

[patty]

That craftsmanship can never be repeated. The old masters were beyond their day. There are no words to describe the attention to detail and the art work involved.

[tessahall]

From the very first minute this is absolutely breathtaking. This level of craftsmanship is obsolete. It’s so important to preserve what is left. Impeccable

[darkisland]

In terms of the wood carving and millwork involved, this is probably the most beautiful castle I've ever seen! I love it!
