Bran Castle is a national monument and landmark in Romania. The fortress is situated on the Transylvanian side of the historical border with Wallachia. Bran Castle was first mentioned in documents in 1377 when it was built by the Saxons of Kronstadt at their own expense and labour force. But this beautiful medieval castle is older than that. Initially, it was built as a wooden castle guarding an important mountain pass by the Teutonic Knights in 1212, but it was destroyed by the Mongols in 1242. **** Bran Castle is often erroneously referred to as the home of Dracula.
During the Second World War, the castle was used as a hospital by Princess Ileana, Queen Marie's daughter, but in 1948 it was seized by the communist regime.
In 2006 the castle was awarded to Princess Ileana's son, Dominic von Habsburg, and in 2009 it was transferred to his sisters,
Maria-Magdalena Holzhausen and Elisabeth Sandhofer. In June 2009, the renovated castle was opened together with the Bran
Village in order to preserve and boost the Romanian tourism and to improve the economic situation of the region. The castle is now a museum dedicated to displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie.
Bran Village Museum
At the bottom of the hill is a small open-air museum exhibiting traditional Romanian peasant structures from the Bran region.

Bran Castle situated near Bran and in the immediate vicinity of Brașov, is a national monument and landmark in Romania. The fortress is situated on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia, Commonly known as Dracula's Castle (although it is one among several locations linked to the Dracula legend, including Poenari Castle and Hunyadi Castle), it is often erroneously referred to as the home of the title character in Bram Stoker's Dracula. There is, however, no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad the Impaler, voivode of Wallachia, the putative inspiration for Dracula.

An Introduction to Bran Castle, Romania
No, Dracula was not here, or at least not visible when we visited. Bran Castle is located not far from Brasov and is associated with the Dracula myth thanks to its imposing towers and turrets. Even though there is no evidence that Vlad The Impaler ever visited Transylvania, it was easy to see why writer Bram Stoker imagined Bran Castle as Dracula's imposing home.
Bran Castle was first documented in 1377 when the Saxons of Brasov were given permission to build this imposing Citadel. From 1920 to 1957, Bran was the royal residence of Queen Marie of Romania and the castle is now a museum. Guide Cristian began our tour through the formidable castle.
Bran Castle, Romania
Bran Castle by Romanian Art&Craft
Bran Castle is one of the landmarks of Romania, known all over the world because of its association with the legend of Dracula and Bram Stoker's novel. Located 30 km away from Brasov, Bran Castle was initially built as a defense citadel, going through numerous alterations until 1920, when it was donated to Queen Marie as a token of gratitude for her support of the 1918 Union
Dracula Castle - Bran Castle - Transylvania, Romania - May 2019
Bran Castle - Castelul Bran - Dracula's Castle in Transylvania, June 2017(1)
Bran Castle is located less than 30 km from the city of Braşov in Romania, built on a rock, in a strategically key location.
Dracula - as he is perceived today - is a fictional character. His name derives from the nickname given to Vlad Ţepeş, ruler of Wallachia between 1456-1462 and in 1467, which for political reasons the weather historians describe him as a ruthless despot and blood-thirsty.
The Bran Castle and Darcula, built on a cliff set along the valley in the tourist destination Bran, is the most popular tourist attraction in Romania. The construction of the fortress dates back to November 19, 1377. It was conceived as a border city with customs, too, for a long time the fortress belonged to the city of Brasov, increasing the town's treasury. The fortress had four towers, and the entrance was made on a mobile bridge. Gothic portals, narrow staircases (some mysterious) dug in stone, vaulted rooms, arches and other architectural elements make a great deal. The fame of the place has increased over time due to the feudal art present here (1512 mural paintings) and the exhibits: weapons (a cannon of 1601), carpets and pieces of furniture representing Renaissance and Baroque styles, Gothic music room .
A document issued by King Ludovic I of Hungary (1342-1382) on 19 November 1377 in Zvolen confirms to the Saxons of Braşov the right to raise, according to the promise, at the expense and with their craftsmen, a new stone fortress at Bran. On this occasion, the King promises to the Brasov that if Wallachia will get in our hands then the customs will be moved from Ruffa Arbor to Bran The reference in the text of the 1377 document on a new stone fortress Allows the deduction that the stone fortification to be built on this site was preceded by an older boundary reinforcement. This fortress, probably made of wood, would have been raised by the Knights Templar between 1211-1225. It is attributed to Master Theodorikus. In the thirteenth century, the territory of Bran was subjected to the jurisdiction of the royal county of Alba Iulia.
The castle is home to the Bran Museum, a museum that stretches across the four floors of the castle. Here are exhibited collections of ceramics, furniture, weapons and armor, and in the courtyard of the castle there is a small museum of the village, with traditional houses from the region of Rucar-Bran.

Visiting Dracula's Castle (Bran Castle) in Transylvania, Romania
With howling winds we ascended the many steps leading up to the infamous Bran Castle. The castle associated with Bram Stoker's Dracula Castle is a national landmark and monument in Transylvania, Romania (Romanian: Castelul Bran; Hungarian: Törcsvár; German: Törzburg). We found the experience fascinating as most areas of the castle were open for tourists to explore including some dimly lit staircases. After checking out the castle we headed back down to briefly check out a market selling all kinds of trinkets and restaurant featuring hearty Romanian cuisine. Overall, if you're based in Brasov this makes for a fantastic 'spooky' day trip ;)

Visiting Dracula's Castle (Bran Castle) in Transylvania, Romania Travel Video Transcript:
So at last the destination we've been waiting for. We have arrived in Bran to visit Bran Castle which may or may not be associated with the Dracula. Hahaha. Let's go!
Oh ho ho, it's going to blow me over.
This is officially one of the windiest places I have ever experienced. The castle sits on a really rocky cliff so you get wind coming in every direction possible. And it is pretty crazy. We're just hiding out in this little nook for now.
Bran Castle sits on the border between Wallachia and Transylvania and it is the setting of Bram Stoker's horror novel Dracula. That being said, there are other castles in Romania linked to the legend of Dracula.
We're now entering the secret staircase.
Now we're checking out the torture chamber rooms and it is pretty gruesome the methods that were used back in the day. It makes feel quite lucky to be alive this present moment.
Overall impressions of Bran Castle? It was phenomenal. What really surprised me is that from a distance it doesn't look that big but when you get inside there is a lot to explore. Like we probably spent well over an hour just checking all of the different rooms, climbing up and down the stairs and just getting an overall impression of the caste.
Alright, so now that we have visited the castle it is time to go for lunch and I am hungry.
So it is very cold day here in Bran and it is also lunchtime so we've popped into a little restaurant and we're trying to warm up with the hottest, heartiest foods we can find. I'm having some soup with some polenta and a cup of tea. Sam's gone with a salad and the beef. Meh, a little healthy a little bland but here we are enjoying our Romanian lunch.
So the food I'm most excited about trying is something called Romanian Mici and if you look down here it's kind of like a pork sausage or a pork roll. And, oh wow, check this out. Oh, that looks good. It almost looks like a spicy sausage.
Mmmmm. That is an amazing sausage. So juicy, so tasty, so flavorful. I love it. Oh, now I'm going to try some next.
So the polenta with cheese has arrived and it looks a little bit different from what I had yesterday. Yesterday my polenta came with cottage cheese and sour cream but this one appears to have cheese melted on top so I think maybe they put it in the oven. It looks like it was kind of baked. Yeah, baked polenta. Look at the gooey cheese. Oh la la. Wow. That's going to be hot. Mmmm.
I think it actually has goat cheese in the middle. Like a salty goat cheese and then mozzarella on top. Pretty good.
After lunch, we did a little wandering around the town and we found that it reminded us of Halloween with all its spooky trinkets and souvenirs.
There is a cool little market nearby the Bran Castle selling all kinds of trinkets including warm hats, Halloween costumes and other kinds of souvenirs.
Hello, pup. Hello. Meet Dracula's dog. Or are you a wolf? You're a wild wolf. Yes, you are. Yes, you are.
It's biting my ass now. It's not a game anymore puppy. No, hey. Hahahahaha.
This is part of our Travel in Romania series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Romanian culture, Romanian arts, Romanian foods, Romanian religion, Romanian cuisine and Romanian people.

하지만 브라쇼브 근교의 소도시 브란을 빼놓고 트란실바니아의 전설을 말할 수는 없다. 흡혈귀 문학의 고전 드라큘라의 배경이 바로 트란실바니아. 죄수를 긴 꼬챙이에 꽂아 죽이는 것으로 악명 높던 드라쿨레아 공작이, 소설 드라큘라의 모티브가 됐고 오늘날 드라큘라는 가장 유명한 루마니아인이자 최고의 관광 상품이 돼 사람들을 끌어당긴다. 특히 이 아담한 성은 작가가 소설에서 묘사한 성과 비슷하다는 이유로 드라큘라의 성으로 불린다. 머리가 닿을 듯 나지막한 천장과 흰색과 붉은색의 소박한 어울림까지 드라큘라의 집처럼 음산하기보단 낭만적인 모습이다. 좁은 계단으로 이어진 내부도 호화로움과는 거리가 멀지만 드라큘라의 집이라는 명성에 힘입어 세계에서 두 번째로 비싼 개별 주택으로 포브스 지에 소개되기도 했다고 한다. “자, 드라큘라를 만나보시죠. 드라큘라는 실존 인물로 ‘블라드 가시공’이라고도 불려요. 그는 왈라키아의 군주로 잔혹한 성격과 사람을 꼬챙이로 꿰어 죽이는 습관으로 유명했어요. 이게 바로 드라큐라의 특기예요. 꼬챙이에 몸을 꿰어 죽이는 형벌이죠. 사람을 바닥에 눕혀서 잘 묶은 다음, 꼬챙이를 아래로 찔러 넣어 몸을 관통시킨 뒤 땅에 박아 세우는 거예요.” 드라쿨레아 공작은 이 긴 꼬챙이로 터키의 침략에 맞서고 독일 상인들의 탐욕을 벌했다고 한다. “드라큘라에 대해 말씀드리고 싶은 건 우리 루마니아인들에게 그는 폭군이 아닌 영웅이라는 거예요. 우리는 아직도 그가 돌아오길 기다리고 있어요. 요즘 정치인들을 꼬챙이로 꿰어버렸으면 하는 마음에서죠. 그는 비리를 용납하지 않았어요. 그의 통치 기간에 대부분의 죄인들은 꼬챙이에 꿰어 죽는 형벌을 받았어요. 그 시절엔 금으로 된 양탄자를 시장 우물 위에 올려놓아도 아무도 훔쳐 가지 않았다고 해요. 꼬챙이에 꿰어지는 게 두려웠던 거죠. 그래서 우린 그가 꼭 돌아오길 바라고 있어요.” “우리는 순수 혈통의 루마니아인이에요.” “그리고 드라큘라 역사를 배웠어요. 저도 드라큘라를 역사 시간에 배웠는데 그를 아주 좋아하게 됐죠. 더 관심도 생겼고요.” 진짜 드라큘라는 창백하지 않은데다 긴 머리가 잘 어울렸고 소설 속의 성은 미국인에게 상속되어 드라큘라의 집으로 홍보되고 있다. 믿기 힘든 실제와 믿고 싶은 상상이 뒤섞이는 하루다.

But I can not tell the legend of Transylvania without the small city Bran in the suburb of Brasov. The background of the classic Dracula of Vampire literature is Transylvania. The Draculae Duke, notorious for killing a prisoner in a long skewer, became the motif of the novel Dracula and today Dracula attracts people as it is the most famous Romanian and best tourist product. Especially, this small castle is called Dracula 's castle because the artist is similar to the one described in the novel. It is more romantic than a dreckah's house, even though it's like the house of Dracula, with its hairy ceiling and its simple combination of white and red. The interior of the narrow staircase is not far from luxury, but it was introduced to Forbes as the second most expensive private house in the world, thanks to the reputation of Dracula's house. Well, let 's meet Dracula. Dracula is also known as the Vlad Thorn Ball. He was famous for his harsh personality as a monarch of Walachia and the habit of killing people with a skewer. This is the specialty of Dracula. It's a punishment to kill a skewer. They lay people on the floor, tie them well, pierce the skewers down, pierce the body, and put them on the ground. Duke Dreclair says that this long skewer has defied the Turkish invasion and led to the lust of German merchants. I want to tell you about Dracula that to our Romanians, he is a hero, not a tyrant. We are still waiting for him to come back. I want to put the politicians into the skewers nowadays. He did not tolerate corruption. During his reign, most of the sinners were punished to die on a skewer. At that time, no one stole gold rugs from market wells. I was afraid to stick it in the skewer. So we want him to come back. We are purely Romanian. And we learned about Dracula's history. I learned Dracula in history, and I really like him. The real Dracula is not pale and has a long hair, and the castle in the novel is inherited by Americans and promoted to Dracula's house. It is a day of mixed reality with incredible reality and imagination that I want to believe.
