The Știrbey Castle

Sinaia, Romania, Romania

Știrbey Castle in Sinaia, Romania, stands as the town's oldest civil building, constructed in 1875 by Princess Alina Știrbey—daughter of ruler Barbu Bibescu-Știrbey—during her marriage to General Ioan Emanuel Florescu, following designs by Dutch architect Josef Jacob Schieffeleers in a romantic German style suited to mountain retreats.

Encircled by a natural park and small lake that mirrored its facade, the imposing structure served as a luxurious summer residence near a family chapel painted by Gheorghe Tattarescu, hosting elite society amid tales of secrets, betrayals, and romances.

Today, it functions as Sinaia City Museum with 13 thematic rooms exploring local history, notable figures like Enescu and Queen Marie, aristocratic salons, and winter sports heritage, complemented by a cafe and accommodations.
