  Snagov Monastery

  Dracula’s Grave is traditionally believed to be located at Snagov Monastery, situated on a small island in the middle of Snagov Lake, about 40 km north of Bucharest, Romania. This monastery is steeped in mystery and folklore, as it is associated with the legendary figure of Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Dracula), the historical inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Key Details about Dracula’s Grave: Vlad the Impaler, the 15th-century Wallachian ruler known for his fierce defense against the Ottoman Empire and his brutal methods, is said to have been buried at Snagov Monastery after his death in battle or assassination. However, the exact location of his grave remains a matter of debate. Snagov Monastery is a 14th-century Orthodox site, featuring beautiful frescoes and a peaceful setting. It is accessible by boat or a causeway, adding to its mystical allure. A tomb inside the church, near the altar, is traditionally considered to be Vlad the Impaler’s burial place.
