About
Bran (Dracula’s) Castle
Bran
Castle owes its fame both to its unique charm
and to the myth Bram Stoker created around
Dracula. Documentary evidence
of the
Castle dates back as far as 1377. A true fortress located in
Bran village, aprox. 25 km away from
Brasov, all its walls are made
of stone
and the rooms
and the narrow corridors form a labyrinth
of hidden corners
and secret chambers. In 1920, Queen Mary, the niece
of Queen Victoria
of Great Britain, turned the
Castle into a beautiful summer residence. The legend goes that the heart
of Queen Mary, kept in a silver box, was discovered in a niche
of the building.
