What To Expect

Peles Castle

Carol I of Hohenzollern – Sigmaringen, Romania's first King, built the Peles fortress between 1873 and 1914. It was utilized as a vacation residence by 1883, the year of its opening. The castle was transformed and enlarged between 1890 and 1914, under the guidance of Czech architect Karel Liman, who is regarded the major architect.
With two exceptions, the neo-Ottoman and neo-Rococo styles, the German neo-Renaissance style provides both exterior and interior aesthetic dominance in the initial shape (1883). Fundamental alterations to the volumes, façades, and interiors in the second stage (1890-1914) broadened the prior stylistic spectrum, fitting the castle to Historicism's architectural plurality.

Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle)

Bran Castle is a slender stronghold with tile roofs that was built in the 14th century and is located near Brasov, Romania. It commands the lush hills on the outskirts of the Little Carpathians, a subrange of Romania's major chain.
The Bran castle was built in the 14th century as a fortification to protect the inhabitants and landlords of the lowlands beyond the Bucegi Mountains, but it is best known for being the home of Dracula, the legendary vampire.
It's the ideal location for a vampire lord. It has solid walls with narrow holes for archers and cannons, iron grates over portals, and secret corridors. It is tall, turreted, red-roofed, and contains a large guard tower.
Over decades of war with the Ottoman Empire, the Bran castle had to be repaired and refurbished. The white-washed walls of the high-ceilinged rooms were once covered with brilliant-hued carpets from Moldavia's northern regions, and the two wide interior courtyards were once flower beds.

Brasov Historical Center

Brasov is one of Romania's most popular tourist destinations, surrounded by the peaks of the Southern Carpathians and brimming with gothic, baroque, and Renaissance architecture, as well as a plethora of historical monuments.
Brasov, one of the seven walled citadels* founded by the Teutonic Knights in 1211 on an ancient Dacian site and populated by the Saxons, emits a particular medieval air and has been utilized as a setting in numerous modern period films.
The city's location at the crossroads of commercial routes connecting the Ottoman Empire and western Europe, combined with tax exemptions, allowed Saxon merchants to amass significant riches and exert political power in the region.
The city's German name, Kronstadt, as well as its Latin name, Corona, which means Crown City, reflected this (hence, the coat of arms of the city which is a crown with oak roots).
According to medieval custom, fortifications were built around the city and gradually expanded.

Black Church (Biserica Neagra)

Biserica Neagră, also known as the Black Church (German: Schwarze Kirche; Romanian: Biserica Neagră; Hungarian: Fekete templom), is a church in Brașov, Romania.
It was built by the city's German community and is the country's most prominent Gothic-style landmark, as well as the largest and most important Lutheran (Evangelical Church of the Augustan Confession in Romania) place of worship.
A widespread fallacy is that the Black Church was sooted by the 1689 Brașov fire, which gave it its name.
However, research conducted in the twenty-first century have shown no evidence of fire devastation; the cathedral was simply blackened as a result of pollution after Brașov became an industrial city in the nineteenth century. [1] Furthermore, the term "Black Church" was not coined until the late 1800s.
The building cannot be visited inside, only outside, for this tour!
