The Royal castle of Săvârşin, near Arad, Transylvania, is the country seat of King Michael I of Romania.

While the castle was seized from the Royal Family by the Romanian communist authorities in 1948,[1] in 2000, a Romanian court ordered that the building be restored to King Michael I.[2] On 30 December 2007, the 60th anniversary of his abdication, King Michael chose Săvârșin as the location for the signing of the new statutes defining the role and powers of the royal family.[3]
