The castle features 160 rooms, connected by numerous entrances, a staircase, and a small theatre with 60 seats. It was equipped with modern amenities for its time, including an electric motor that powers the glass ceiling in the Hall of Fame, a lift/elevator for inter-floor access, and central heating. Notably, Peles Castle was the first fully electrified castle in Europe.
