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.
@@Geekyguy92 Stoker's character isn't real but there was certainly a historical character Dracula who was a 14th century Walachian prince who fought against the Ottomans. A five minute search on the internet will give you plenty of information on him.

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. 😌
I was there during the week and because of the pandenic there were just a few people, which I liked actually. In normal times, there is a lot of people and parking there could be a big headache.
Went there in 1994 on the bus from Brasov-nobody had a clue where Draculas castle ,or who he was either, so they sent me to Bran,there was a village shop and not much else.Two years later you could buy a tshirt at the same shop so they had obviously caught on quickly-must be a real tourist trap now.
This is the most unique castle I have ever seen, it is so heart warming, every room. I can tell a woman of wonderful taste created the decorations and settings. Thanks for the video and I will subscribe.
My eldest brother translated the Dracula Book in Marathi Indian Language, some time in 1958/60. Now I had a visual treat thru your nice VDO clip. Great, I enjoyed it thourghly. !
@@thomaschippie9057 A castle historians think Vlad III may have been held in while in custody. Other than that, place has nothing to do with Vlad or vampires.
This seems to be such an interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
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.
A very Castle of Drácula is a Castle of poenari to some 15 milles curtea de arges in the top of the mountain; Bran Castle is principally for a tourists for a " good" state of conservation ; and you have yo climb 1.482 steps to reach it
I hope I can go to this place someday. It looks awesome. I'm making an animated TV show which has a family of vampires called the Karloffs(if you get the reference, you get the reference), who live in a castle that's actually based off of this castle in design(Well, Bran AND Corvin Castle)!
As you know, today is Halloween and I’m going there in five days and I’m staying in “Dracula room” in a hotel nearby where you have a full view of the castle out your window and I’m visiting the castle aswell
I was at my doctor's office yesterday. We Started talking @bout traveling,@nd she told me was Romanian and that Draculas Castle and transylvania @re real!! @ 59 Years old and having watched Dracula films @ll my life I never knew it was Authentic! Not the Dead part etc😊
Someone posted this video on my FB timeline today and I must say, it really bought back memories of our 2 visits in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Both during the day and through the night. Thank you very much
Sure looks like some of the movie sets in many scenes, and they can fund the castle for movies instead of pushing tourism with restrictions. Stay home and spend any there. Gives all of us some influence back that makes sense.
I find it hard to believe that the inside of that castle looked anything like it does now 500 years ago. Everything from all the furniture to the white plaster or sheet rock walls are just too modern for the 15th century!
I am a ENORMOUSLY HUGE Dracula fan (DRACUAL IS "PURELY FICTION", ...though I love it tremendously!!!!), ...AND this place IS TOO CLEAN and BLAN to be real! I was told that there NO REAL DRACULA'S CASTLE, and what if dubbed as Dracula's Castle is in ruins and can ONLY BE VIEWED AT A DISTANCE; NOT APPROACHED CLOSELY BY ANY VISITORS.
Tenho os 4 filmes da Geração Vamp, filmados aí na Romênia cujo ator principal e Anders Hoovs , estão na minha coleção , amo Dracula desde a infância, assim como Bela Lugo si, Cristo per Lee e tantos outros. Dracula imortal. Parabéns pela publicação.
Returning to life time and again since the ancient Middle Ages, the evil lord Dracula has driven people to terror. Each time Dracula returned from the dead, the heroic Belmont Clan fought him in the shadows, wielding the holy whip called the Vampire Killer. Through their efforts, humanity avoided the Darkness, securing prosperity.
Lol right? They need to do the punishment at night to make it really funny. I could see him yelling and threatening to punch everyone, meanwhile the rest of the Jokers are laughing their asses off lol 😆
@@salsvintageshow6664 ,,, they always gave poor Murray the worst punishments ,,, even throwing him out of a plane ,,, but he did it,,, I honestly think sal would quit straight up ,,, he wouldn’t do it 😂
I understand that the person who inherited the castle , sold it since he was not interested, the government restored everything and he didn't appreciate this

The real Castle of Vlad Tepes is in ruins and this Castle is just another property that he had but he almost did not live there..
Seeing as Dracula isn't real and is a fictional character created by Bram Stoker
@@antoniogarcia9648 Unfortunately, I didn't have an opportunity to visit the site at Poenari.

I think they just made it look that way to make it more like a tourist attraction that's why it looks so modern
Dracula book was written in 1864 then why you can say that just for tourist attraction.
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. 😌

I found out recently my ancestors lived on the hill right under the castle. Really cool to find out
Awesome‼️
Visited in 1989 with a tour group how exciting Romania is a lovely country
Today, every castle is hiding an element of Dracula Castle. This account of Bran Castle is inspiring.

A little too well preserved and renovated...
It's not the real castle. But it is beautiful. Vlad the Impaler's castle is in ruins.
Wow that is a brilliantly done exhibiition/tour. I would love to go there. It looks amazing. The countryside is just beautiful.
Vlad the Impaler's castle is actually Poenari, located about 60km from Bran.
Ok, then what is this??
@@thomaschippie9057 Um, maybe Bran Castle?

Exactly so‼️ And correct me if I'm wrong but Vlad the Impaler's castle 🏰 is on a Mountain Ridge and seemingly inaccessible. It's also in ruins.
This was very enjoyable. You put this together very well.
Thank you very much:)

Do you mind me asking what Vampire series you write? All the best.
I’d like to know as well.
Dracula is vampire bat know this 21s this 90%people are vampire
It was really Vlad the Impaler
Romania is beautiful ❤️
💞🇹🇩𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐡🇹🇩💞
Thank you for the tour! I doubt I'll ever get to see it! ❤❤❤
It's not really Vlad Dracula's castle. That's in another part of Romania, but it is one of the sites that apparently inspired Bram Stoker's novel.
Just here after listening Sunday Suspense.. ✌️😅
Incredible, beautifu; piece of history. Love the intro music❤
Right up there with Eagles Nest as a tourist destination. A little off the beaten path but worth the effort

Thank you:)

Sembrerebbe più a Museo al interno che ad un Castello 🏰 che si vede dal esterno...!
super cool! Thumps up.👍
It reminds me of the 2004 film Vanhelsing. Aaaaa those old days 🤧.
Absolutely wonderful!!!
Sad they updated it so much. Doesn't even look real 🥺
What doesn’t look real?
@@crusaderofthelowlands3750 this castle maybe
Și de unde știi tu asta? Erai cumva in 1400 pe acolo? 😂

Is beautiful.

I dont see original castle, that looks very modern if you ask me.....
True

Listen to The children of the night. What músic they make
The real Castle of Vlad Tepes is in ruins and this Castle is just another property that he had but he almost did not live there..
It was built in 1377 so it is very old
Beautiful ❤️
Actually,Vlad Țepeș Castle is at Poenari ( Poienari). But you are welcome at Bran too.🇷🇴
È bello ...ma ( DRACULA) ha prelevato il sangue agli turisti 😂😂😂😂🍬🍬🍬...!!!??? Bellissima musica al pianoforte 🎹💯💯💯💯💯..!
Wow very clean and niceee
I'm sure that i'm gonna visite this castle some day.
Well kept

Beautiful place to visit. Greetings from New Orleans..
Thanks for sharing!
Thank u 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 Lahore Pakistan
The original is Poenari Castle Bran Castle is the one Bram Stoker used in His Novel
O verdadeiro castelo onde Vlad III Drácula morou não existe mais. Este castelo é um ponto turístico, que gera renda e empregos.
The authors name was Bram, short for Abraham. The book and movie were awesome
Nice online tour

You are correct, although Vlad the Impaler did earn the nickname Dracula.
I’m watching this video after I finished reading Hunting Prince Dracula
One must keep in mind that Prince Dracula is considered a national hero in Romania, not a monster.
Thank you for this amazing content .
Thank you for your kind words:)

I didn’t know they turned it into a haunted house lol
Who else besides me thinks this would be a great punishment for Sal on Impractical Jokers lol
He’d piss himself for sure 🤣

But didn't Count Dracos line the path with heads of his enemies on a pike, stuck in the ground.
Not sure about that. But Vlad the Impaler DID impale people on Spikes in the ground to deter enemies. He earned the nickname, Dracula.
When did you visit; it looks empty (as in no crowded)
In 2021 during Covid restrictions.....and yes, there were just a few people
Nice video. I have to visit here :-)
Awesome
Castle
Ok
Ugh
When I hear " Dracula" , I remember
Christopher Lee.
Video: shows quality recordings of the castle with serene music and horror clips
Me: who’s cleaning the entire castle??
So nice
Of course it just looks like a damn amusement park now🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Agreed
It’s a museum…
Oh My Gosh it's quite lovely I imagined a a dark space and unlivable area but this is a lovely space and fascinating architecture
I understand that the person who inherited the castle , sold it since he was not interested, the government restored everything and he didn't appreciate this
