The Real Dracula Castle is for sale!
October 17th, 2007
This is the actual castle that Vlad the Impaler lived in and it is the setting for the original Bram Stoker Dracula novel and it is now for sale.
The outside of the castle is absolutely gorgeous and I would imagine that the inside is equally gorgeous but I don’t think I would want to buy this place - it just seems like bad karma to me.
There has been quite a renaissance in the big ticket real estate market all throughout eastern europe. Many of these places have been used by film makers for many years and now the properties are finding other uses such as high end hotels, condos, and even casinos.
This particular castle was built in 1212 and was Vlad’s home in the 15th-century. It has been owned by the Romanian government for a very long time but has recently been reacquired by the Archduke Dominic von Hapsburg family.
Curious about the cost?
140 Million!
