“An heir of Romania’s former royal family put “Dracula’s Castle” in
Transylvania up for sale Monday, hoping to secure a buyer who will
respect “the property and its history,” a U.S.-based investment
company said.

The Bran Castle, perched on a cliff near Brasov in mountainous central
Romania, is a top tourist attraction because of its ties to Prince
Vlad the Impaler, the warlord whose cruelty inspired Bram Stoker’s
1897 novel, “Dracula.”

Dracula’s Castle is a popular tourist stop, even though the prince who
inspired the book never lived there.”
