    Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle)

    The first historical reference of Bran Castle – Dracula`s Castle, is a document issued on November 19, 1377 issued by King of Hungary by which Brasov inhabitants received the privilege of building the fortress. Between 1920-1927 Bran Castle was restored under the supervision of royal court architect, who turned it in a beautiful summer residence surrounded by a park with promenade alleys, lake, fountains, and a tea house. In 1938 Queen Maria of Romania bequeathed Bran Castle with all its domains, to her daughter Princess Ileana, who owned it until 1948.
