Superbe poze

. Imi pare totusi rau ca sunt si alte castele in Romania foarte frumoase, cum ar fi cel din Hunedoara, care nu sunt promovate cum ar trebui...

Probabil ca ar fi mai mult promovat daca nu ar avea ditai combinatul siderugic si cartier comunist in imediata vecinatate!

Why are people even throwing bills down the well?

Anyway, looks quite nice. Is it by and large in its medieval state, or is it a historicist interpretation?

Donations...I would think.

The furniture was recently changed by the new owners but the castle (the structure) is pretty much in its original state.

Actually this wasn't Dracula's castle. The Romanian prince Vlad Tepes ("Dracula") had his secondary court at the Poienari Castle, which is now a ruin.

He spent one night in that castle taking refuge from an Ottoman invasion, and that's where the name of the castle comes from.

"Bran" comes from Tepes spending a night there?

I think he was referring to the name "Dracula's Castle". That's not actually a name...whatever, you get the point.

Yeah, donations probably, and it's bills because dollars and lei have bills for the 1 denomination, rather than coins, like the euro (and yeah I know, there are 1 dollar coins, but not many compared to bills).

So, it's this the true Dracula's castle??

Where is this castle exactly? Can you post a map?
GRAZIE!

You do know that Dracula is a fictional character right?
