Count Dracula’s castle has been put up for sale, but the future owner does not get Dracula along with the castle, that is, a historical basis for his character, because he has never lived in it.

- If someone comes in with a reasonable offer, we will look at who they are, what they are proposing, and will seriously entertain the idea - said Mark Meyer, whose New York law firm is handling the sale of Bran Castla, which is the name that actually made it popular.

According to the data available on the official website, construction of this castle commenced 1377 and ended 1388.

This castle's nickname is a result of it being identical to the one that Bram Stoker described in his novel "Dracula". Although Stoker never visited this castle, it is believed that he had read about it and used it as the model for Dracula's castle in his novel.

The character, or at least the name, is based on Vlad the Impaler, who is said to have spent two months in Bran Castle as a prisoner.

However, if you want to buy this castle, you will have to set aside USD 135 million for a villa with 57 rooms.

On the other hand, every year this castle attracts 560,000 visitors who are willing to pay for the entrance and numerous souvenirs, meaning that this investment could actually pay off.
