A Tour of Bran (DRACULA) Castle / Transylvania / Romania [ 4K ]

Bran, also known as Dracula's Castle is Romania’s most visited landmark. It is located in the village of Bran, about 30 km from Brasov. The video shows a tour of Dracula castle.
The Castle owes its fame to its history, imposing towers, and the myth created around Bram Stocker's fictitious character Dracula.
It's widely believed that Vlad III Dracula (Wallachian Prince), known by the nickname Vlad the Impaler, has served as an inspiration for Stoker’s character, Count Dracula. In 1992, it was released Bram Stoker's Dracula horror film directed and produced by Francis Ford Coppola.
Since Bran Castle is the only castle in Transylvania that fits Bram Stoker’s description of Dracula’s Castle, it has gained the fame of being Dracula’s Castle.
However, Bran Castle was not home of Vlad III. It is believed that he might have never been at that place. The real residence of Vlad III Dracula is the castle Poenari, in the county of Arges, Romania. The castle has long been abandoned, now it's in ruins.
Today, Bran is open as a museum, largely devoted to Queen Marie, the British wife of King Ferdinand I of Romania. From 1920 to 1948 Bran Castle served as a royal residence. You will see on display art and furniture collected by Queen Marie.
You can also buy extra tickets to see the medieval torture instruments exhibition and the Time tunnel where an interesting multimedia show is played.

I visited this castle about twenty five years ago and was surprised by the fairly pleasant atmosphere within its walls. It didn't feel sinister in any way. I believe that the last full time resident was a member of the Romanian royalty in the 1930s. It's unlikely that Dracula ever occupied the castle. His main refuge was at Poenari, a mountain top citadel about thirty miles or so from Castle Bran and it's a much more brutal structure. It's certainly worth a visit.

Those windows are perfect to watch the world go by, read or write poetry in. Exquisite sigh

Today, every castle is hiding an element of Dracula Castle. This account of Bran Castle is inspiring.

Beautiful palace. I write a vampire series and Vlad is in it (briefly). I always love seeing well-done videos of the mythology of Vlad Dracula that Stokes did. In the Romanian people, he is a hero, not a vampire. In the time tunnel, the video shot of the portrait that moves is very well done.

I think they just made it look that way to make it more like a tourist attraction that's why it looks so modern

It’s so much easier to visit the Bran Castle with a car. I went there via public transport (the bus) Aaah, I miss those times. Look at the castle. Not a lot of tourists. 😌

Vlad the Impaler's castle is actually Poenari, located about 60km from Bran.

A little too well preserved and renovated...
