You're standing at Peleș Castle, just outside Sinaia, in the heart of the Carpathians. Take a look at those towers. It looks like a fairy-tale castle, a bit like Neuschwanstein in Bavaria. The style blends Neo-Renaissance with Gothic Revival. Strictly speaking it's a palace, but everyone calls it a castle. The name comes from the Peleș, a little stream nearby.
