House for Sale


Apparently, Dracula's Castle is for sale (AKA Bran's Castle). The fortress is situated on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia. In case anyone doesn't know the myths that it was once the home of Vlad the Impaler, a famous or infamous medieval warlord; however, there is no evidence that he ever lived there. According to most accounts, the Impaler spent two days in the Bran dungeon, as the area was occupied by the Ottoman Empire at the time. The Romanian government returned it to the legal heir, Dominic von Habsburg, in 2006. The New York architect recently put the castle up for sale for a price of £40,000,000 ($77,000,000). So, anyone want a little piece of Bram Stoker's Dracula history?
