High place of the tourism in Transylvania, the castle of Bran would have according to the legend, been frequented by Vlad the Impaler.
Built in the XIIIth century, mainly out of wood, the castle of Bran takes fire and encourages the king of Hungary Louis Ier to order a new building, more solid, mainly made of stone. Its name comes from the rock on which it is positioned, for strategic purposes. Several times modified and restored as the owners succeeded one another, it is today intimately linked to Count Dracula, although no official document has managed to prove that Vlad the Impaler actually stayed there in his time. Partly open to the public, it overlooks a small village where the image of Dracula is omnipresent.
