While Bram Stoker's iconic character, Count Dracula, is purely fictional, the association of Bran Castle with the legendary vampire has made it a magnet for enthusiasts worldwide. Originally erected in 1377 as a fortress to defend against invading Turks, the castle played a pivotal role in protecting the region and controlling the mountain pass.
The castle's rooms and corridors wind through history. Its rich collection includes furniture, art, and artifacts from the 14th to the 19th centuries, painting a vivid picture of Romania's royal past. Queen Marie, a beloved figure in Romania, is particularly associated with the castle. Her heart was kept at Bran Castle in a golden casket until 2013.
But beyond its historical significance, the castle thrives in legend.
