Str. General Traian Mosoiu, nr. 24 Bran, Romania, 507025 Website Bran Castle (Romanian: Castelul Bran; German: Schloss Bran; Hungarian: Törcsvári kastély) is a castle in Bran, 30 kilometres southwest of Brasov. It is a national monument and landmark in Transylvania. The fortress is on the Transylvanian side of the historical border with Wallachia, on road DN73.
Commonly known outside Transylvania as Dracula's Castle, it is often referred to as the home of the title character in Bram Stoker's Dracula. There is no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad the Impaler, voivode of Wallachia, the putative inspiration for Dracula.[citation needed] Stoker's description of Dracula's crumbling fictional castle also bears no resemblance to Bran Castle.
The Bran Castle is in Bran, 30 km southwest of Brasov
