Dracula's Castlefor sale
"Dracula's Castle" is for sale, but it has one catch: Dracula himself, or at least the historical basis of the character, never lived there.
Some bathrooms are also needed.
"If someone comes up with a reasonable offer, we will see who he is, what he is offering, and we will seriously think about this idea," Mark Meyer told the Daily Telegraph. His firm, Herzfeld & Rubin, will handle any potential sale. for Bran Castle, how the building is really known.
Construction on Bran began in 1377 and was completed in 1388, according to the schedule on the castle's website. (Yes, Dracula's Castle has a website.) His nickname comes from the fact that it closely matches the description of the castle in Bram Stoker's Dracula. Stoker himself never visited, but is believed to have read about it and based the castle in his novel on what he read.
The character himself, or at least his name, is largely based on Vlad III Dracula, aka Vlad the Impaler or "Vlad the Impaler". And although Vlad also never lived in Bran, the documents indicate that he was once captured and imprisoned for two months.
If you want to own a lock, it will bite off your bank account. While Meyer doesn't name a price, the 57-room, 22-acre estate has been on the market several times over the years, while investors were hoping to get $135 million.
On the other hand, the castle receives 560,000 paying tourists a year, so buying it won't necessarily drain you of blood.
"He's currently making a net profit," Meyer told the Telegraph. "But in the right hands, he has the potential to generate much more revenue than we could have imagined."
