Stoker in his novel Dracula.
15.00 We go to Bran to visit Bran castle
Bran Castle, situated on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia, close to Brasov city.
The first documented mentioning of Bran Castle is the act issued by Louis I of Hungary on November 19,
1377, giving the Saxons of Kronstadt (Braşov) the privilege to build the stone citadel on their own
expense and labor force; the settlement of Bran began to develop nearby. In 1438-1442, the castle was
used in defense against the Ottoman Empire, and later became a customs post on the mountain pass
between Transylvania and Wallachia.
Even if people come to visit Bran castle for Dracula Character, Vlad Ţepeş (Vlad the Impaler) (1448-
