Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle) in Transylvania, Romania.

#EastCoastKin #BranCastle #Dracula #ClassicMono
A black and white image looking up at the towering Bran Castle which sits atop a rocky mountain. It's not your typical "pretty" and elegant castle, more a bit simple and ominous. We are looking at the steps leading up to the entrance and three of its exterior walls made of plaster and stone.

This window is in Bran Castle (aka 'Dracula's Castle') in Romania.

#EastCoastKin #BranCastle #Dracula #Romania #Windows #ArtYear #MinimalMonday
A simple arched window deeply set in the wall, has an arched top and window panes that form a vertical, religious cross. The panes have very dark wood frames, and the dark wood continues as a wide window sill. A violet in a terracotta pot sits on the window sill, and the strong light from the window has it brilliantly illuminated, creating backlit petals. The walls are white plaster.

Looking up the walls of Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle). It's built on a steep hill, creating an imposing and ominous look.

#ECK #ClassicMono #DraculasCastle #Transylvania #BranCastle #Romania
Looking up at a tall, imposing and dramatic Gothic castle set atop a steep, high stone base. The castle is coarser than most castles and has more of a fortress feel and look. Unlike symmetrical palace complexes, Bran Castle follows the hill’s topography. This irregularity creates a dramatic silhouette, which contributes to its modern Gothic reputation.

The lone lantern at the entrance to Bran Castle (aka Dracula's Castle), Romania

#EastCoastKin #BranCastle #Romania #SleepySep #Nightmare
A simple arched doorway is the entrance to Bran Castle (aka Dracula's Castle) in Romania. The castle is in disrepair with peeling walls and paint, discoloration. On the wall above the lantern is text that has mostly come off, so it's too difficult to read. The lantern is a fairly simple black iron lantern with a cover that has circles in it to protect the glass. The castle has a red tile roof.

#PalacesAndGardens #FamousFor

Bran Castle in Transylvania, Romania, famous for the connection as the castle in Bram Stoker's "Dracula" even though Stoker never visited it and there is no mention of Bran Castle, specifically.

#ECK #DraculasCastle #Transylvania #Romania #ClassicMono #BranCastle
From Wikipedia: Bran Castle is not mentioned in the novel Dracula, and there is no evidence that Stoker ever visited either Transylvania or Bran Castle.[17] Furthermore, the novel's description of the castle does not match Bran Castle. The claimed connection between the castle and the Dracula legend is tourism-driven.[18] The photo shows a foreboding, large stone castle sitting up high, with a long staircase leading to the entrance which is simple and plain. There are a few small windows on the wing that protrudes from the right side of the entrance. The walls are gray and deteriorating with chipped paint (what little is left). Located in Transylvania, Romania.

Bran Castle (aka Dracula's Castle). There is a library to the left in the photo, complete with a bear rug and cozy reading nook with a small fireplace.

#ECK #BranCastle #Romania
At the far left of the image are dark wooden book shelves dimly lit by a candelabra. Adjacent to the shelves is a large Turkish Middle Eastern Brass Brazier (incense burner) set into a large bowl to catch ashes. In the center of the image is a brown and grey bear skin rug on the dark brown wooden floor. The rug is in front of a large white-painted reading nook that has a small wood-burning fireplace and a cushioned bench for sitting/reading. To the right is a snippet of a woven rug and candle lantern on the white wall.

One of the rooms in Bran Castle, Romania (aka Dracula's Castle). Some of you may recognize the window in the photo from yesterday. Here's the greater setting.

#EastCoastKin #BranCastle #DraculasCastle
A somewhat dark room except for sunlight streaming in through an arched window that has a potted violet on the window sill (I posted a photo of the window alone yesterday). The room has a brown couch with large, plump cushions. Near to it is an armchair that is a dark rusty color. There are a couple of small pictures on the cream colored stucco walls, and another picture is propped on a wooden easel in the corner of the room. Above the easel is a wall fixture with two candle lights. The trim of the room is very dark brown wood, as is the floor. Bran Castle, Transylvania region of Romania. Queen Marie of Greater Romania lived in the castle. The castle's mystique is entirely due to Bram Stoker's fictional book "Dracula." The author may have seen pictures of this castle and used the setting in his book, but he never visited. Vlad the Impaler also did not live here, though he may have been held prisoner here. Funny how stories develop and evolve.

Dracula’s Castle in Transylvania 🦇 Actually Bran Castle, 14thC fortress with only the loosest connection to Vlad the Impaler or fictional Count Dracula. Still, you can buy plastic fangs in the town outside castle walls 🤷‍♀️ Awesome place to visit #draculascastle #brancastle #transylvania #countdracula
