There are those who believe that 20,000 people were murdered within the walls of this magnificent castle, and those who have doubts about the presence of Dracula in the imposing maze of gloomy corridors. Regardless of the varying speculations, one thing is certain: the renowned castle in Transylvania has been put on the market. It is possible to purchase the property with 140,000,000 dollars, in addition to which there is a clause that must be respected. Only a part of the property shall be private, while the remaining area must remain open to the public as a touristic destination.
Considering the importance and acclaim that is linked to the property after the well-known novel by Bram Stoker, such a clause is understandable.
The royal Habsburg family, owners of the castle, have yet to receive a proposal. However, rumor has it that other avenues are being considered, such as giving the thirteenth century manor to the Romanian government for just 80 million dollars. With its fame and fortune linked to the controversy of a vampire which inspired various films and books, this luxurious Romanian property certainly has an enticing and unique quality.
Perched on the top of a cliff edge, this grand manor dominates its surroundings. Enveloped in natures beauty, brimming with tall trees, the endless towers of the property enjoy breathtaking views of the forests below.
For those who aren’t aware, Bran castle is a true gem architecturally speaking. It has been restored on various occasions over the years. A fusion of Medieval, Gothic and Renaissance elements can be appreciated throughout the castles exterior. Considering the manor was originally built as a form of refuge for knights and soldiers during war, the structure is extremely solid.
At the beginning of the 1900’s, when the property was put in the hands of the court, the castle was transformed into a luxurious summer residence, fitted with panoramic terraces, a park, a lake and beautifully designed fountains, all of which the future owners will be able to enjoy.
