My husband is Romanian and we toured there one visit. We were amazed how low the ceilings were. We are both 5' 9" and had to bend our heads multiple times walking through hallways. Also, interesting that Drac the impaler is a folk hero in Romania. He has sort of a robinhood persona. He was killing the rich landowners who were taking advantage of the peasants. He also drove out the ottomans. The history there is so amazing. We went to historia the farthest greek outpost. Lots of history there.
When I was there in 1992, after the fall of the Soviet Union, and the Persian Gulf War, the locals were referring to it as the summer castle of Vlad Tepes, or "Dracula's summer castle" if we preferred. On a related note, I moved in to a home 3 years ago, and my across the street neighbors are from a part of Transylvania I visited when they were 12 year olds, and still living there. We didn't meet back then, but it seems a bit incredible nonetheless.
Very intriguing 🤔 the architecture is curious as is the history. I would love to see more of the interior ❤thank you for putting the time and energy into finding so many photos and pictures and sharing ❤
@@doublewhopper67 Up on a rocky cliff...years (not months)...all while village people (the labor force) are supposedly trying to feed their own families...yeah, baffling.

I have been there back in 2008 or maybe 2010, it was one of the times i went to Romania. I also went down into a giant salt mine which was cool. That actually had people playing sports down there in the huge open cavern. It was so big that it had shops down there lol.

A Romanian Queen was built this 3 story + basement castle like building- apparently she had become “exiled” - some of her regal clothes and her throne were there.

Tunnels etc...Vampyres,...And then...a 'blood bank'...very interesting place indeed. I've heard that 'Dracula' was actually a good guy that defended Transylvania...and not a vampire. Great photos as always. Many thanks from Australia.
Some say vampires are a demonization for certain reasons, and could be based on Egyptian goddess as feline daughter of sun god Ra with power of Plagues and healing sent to punish people.
True. He was a folk here similar to robinhood. He drove out the ottomans. He was impaling the wealthy corrupt politicians and landowners who were taking advantage of the peasants supposedly.
Imagine getting unrestricted access to roam around one of these massive castles... You said at one point, that around world war one, that the castle was in disrepair and partially buried and needed to be dug out. Why was it buried? Mud flood?
@elgoog Come here, in poorer half of Europe, covered with (ruins of) castles, pick a castle and roam around and inside a castle for days if you wish, EXCEPT in private castles like Bran, repaired and used. What "Mud flood" can ruin building on a top of the hill? Think of some abandoned house you saw. Overgrown bushes and wild animals enter in no time. Hard rain finds its cracks, wood rot, stones fall. Heavy snow breaks roof. Castles need more maintenance then houses.
Teutonic Templars were the sworn enemy of Ghengis Khan & sons I'd speculate that the castle was built by the Golden hoard and its highly skilled construction contractors 🏰
I cant imagine the history of such places. I live in western NC and 30 yrs ago a man in his 70s showed me places in the Appalachians that i would swear only a cpl dozen white men had seen since time of the Indians, and thats only 300 years... A place like this that has thousands of years is mind boggling.
@@DukeCannon theres one spot thats an hour on dirt road, another 30 mins on goat path, another hour hike after that where you come upon a single slab of granite stuck in side of mountain that looks as large as damn Hoover Dam... One slab, its breathtaking. I havent been there in 33 years, before cell phones but wish i had pics. Maybe one day before im too old i can get bk in there.
So is the story of Vlad the Impaler true? The Story Goes if I remember correctly that's received his country from the invading Ottoman Empire, he was supposed to have impaled hundreds of people, creating a forest of dead impaled people. When the invading Muslim Turks saw the savagery of Vlad they turned around and went back home. As Vlad dipped his bread into the blood of those he had impaled. Another story he had invited villagers to a feast in a barn. Once they had arrived the doors were closed from the outside and he burned them alive. I guess these are just stories then. He is honored still today for saving the people from invading Turks.
Yes that story is true. Go to Romania and ask the Romanian people. If the ottomans would have succeeded, then Romania would have been an Islamic country. And evidently it is not !
He is a folk hero. He has a persona similar to robinhood there. As you noted, he drove out the ottomans. He also supposedly was impaling the rich and corrupt 🤷♀️. Also, wealthy land owners who were taking advantage of the peasants, so the peasants loved him.
Ottomans did succeed and vassalized the region centuries after Vlad. Even Bulgaria to the south, though now majority Christian, was completely under Ottoman rule until at least 17th century. History, where religion is involved is more complex than that. @@Sunshine-lo6vd
thank you, that was very interesting and yes, there's definitely a lot not being told about this site. Blood hospital ? Dracula ? I mean, it just makes us wonder what the real story is.
Dracula never aged because he was an A D R E N A C H R O M E junkie... He terrified his victims before he drank their blood. That is what H R C and friends did.
Most likely, imo. That's where a lot of the missing kids supposedly end up. They're terrified by whatever and then their blood is drained out and the adrenochrome extracted and sold to those that can afford it. The kids would be presumably kept alive for years. Pretty horrific shit.
@@jimhurlbut3649 Luke 10:18, Jesus said, "and i saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven". "and 1/3 of the angels fell with him".... these junkies are not human.. they are demons that have been around from the day they fell to earth.. They know their end is near as the end times are arriving. may God be with you and your family Jim..
All this talk of blood! So God has told us from the beginning to keep clear of shedding, or eatting this. Genesis 9:4,6 Leviticus 17:14 Here we read; "the life of flesh is it's blood, because the life is in it." SACRED, BELONGS TO GOD ALONE. Acts 15:29 Repeated to Christians also. Has humanity held to Jehovah's standard to treat blood as sacred?
I'm listening to Thriller by Michael Jackson on the radio, now. It's just about dark supernatural beings like vampires, werewolfs, etc.. well, I think vampires walked among us
And still do? Are they still selling humans for this purpose. Is that why there are 85,000 immigrant children unaccounted for at our borders the administration cannot track where they went in modern times?
@@VenturaIT Just drinking blood doesn't cut it and there would be much more conspiracies about victims with puncture marks. So, I'm going to go with "unlikely".
I once saw a very cool video about a house Prince bought, renovated with gold fixtures and lived and died in, very interesting. Well, it wasn't actually Prince's, it was his brothers, but stories have it that Prince did stay there once, while traveling through.....wtheck??!!...hehehehehehe

Fun Fact..... The BBC did an interview with Prince Charles (now King) discussing his bloodline and link to Vlad the Impaler. When Prince Charles was crowned King the following month he visited this Castle. His first out of England trip, as King, was to this Castle. Why??🤔
You display an image of Tsar Nicholas, his wife the Tsarina, and the Russian Royal Familiy (@8:33), and I'm curious why this image is included here. Is something else going on that relates to Dracula's Castle?

Once when i was probly about 15 or 16 my pal had got this van. Long story short i found a bottle medication pills. I dont even think they was like narctc. I looked in one of those books and it said for seizures or somethin. So being curious 2 of those had me eating dang cigarettes. I think the humidity was high that night
I have always wondered about these old castles, who built them and what was their purpose. You find there worldwide and in the most isolated locations, why...me thinks, air travel was involved and they were way stations or hotels along the flight route.
@Absu-l.Ti-mati--SIN-gu I meant Vlad not Vlas...but Serbs and Romanians are related...they have the same origin...they have Anunnaki blood flowing through their veins...true Serbs are Vlas...but they can be Vlahi too...I think it's pretty much the same thing
On top of all that joke of a well narrated foundational history you just have to swallow that: Bran`s Castle Is somehow related to Bram Stoker`s horror tale but (of course) Bran and Bram are just similiar names, and the names are not related whatsoever to each other... It`s just a coinquidink 😈
the more I hear about Vlad and his war on the ottoman the more I realize he was not the villain, but the ottomans were. Janissary alone should be reason enough to put my enemy up on the spit and thats just what he did. But thats not the half of what the muslims did. So I raise my bloody cup to you Vlad, may others learn the truth and turn the slander back onto the ottoman and any who follow their insanity.
Been there several times. Believe me, this building has nothing to do with old world buildings. It's total redneck force without any architect ever involved! It looks steep in the photos but on the other side there is road. Vlad and Mircea have never stepped in there, that is all marketing BS invented by the team of the inherit members. Search for some pictures of interior, it's really laughable of how redneck style it looks.

You said at one point, that around world war one, that the castle was in disrepair and partially buried and needed to be dug out.
Why was it buried? Mud flood?
