Dracula's Castle For Sale.

By Alex in Movies & SciFi, Travel & Places on Jul 3, 2007 at 3:37 pm


"Dracula’s Castle" in Transylvania is up for sale:

The Bran Castle, perched on a cliff near Brasov in mountainous central Romania, is a top tourist attraction because of its ties to Prince Vlad the Impaler, the warlord whose cruelty inspired Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, "Dracula."

Legend has it that Vlad, who earned his nickname because of the way he tortured his enemies, spent one night in the 1400s at the castle.

    Bran Castle is associated with Dracula more by being featured in a couple of the Dracula movies, than by association with Vlad Tepys. His actual home was at Poienari Castle.
