Dracula’s Castle is situated between Bucegi and the Piatra Craiului Mountains, right where you enter the Rucar-Bran Pass. In the 18th century the fortress was the house of the Austrians frontier guards. In 1836, Bran became the official border and the defense role of the fortress was no longer a priority. In 1920, the city council of Brasov donated Bran Castle to Queen Maria of Great Romania, who lived there with the royal family till 1947. Since then, the Castle is opened as a museum. Many legends are connected with Bran Castle. It is said the castle belonged to Vlad Tepes also known as “ Count Dracula”, but nobody has any proof. Son of Vlad Dracul Knight of the Order of the Dragon – nicknamed “Dracul”, meaning “dragon” or “devil” in Romanian, and grandson of Mircea the Great, King of Wallahia that ruled between 1386 and 1418.
