This is Corvin a real life Fairy tale castle in Romania

in #travel7 years ago

Rumor has it that Vlad the Impaler, aka., Dracula was imprisoned or hosted here. The Hungarian king apparently tutored the young vampire. Whatever the shenanigans, I thought this place was cool to visit. Weird though, it's surrounding is very industrial and communist like. You can't see it in this picture but pay a visit and you'll know what I'm talking about :)

Looks beautiful, but it's nothing compared to in person.

Don't forget to check out Brasov, the city near by. It has a beautiful medieval town center.

I agree. I used Brasov as a base when I was exploring Romania :)

That castle looks like straight out of fairy tale

More so than ones in western Europe.

Architecture is awesome , and what i like is russia in architecture,
I am upviting your for your such a nice post which reminds me to my trip to Russia.

Thank you :)

Attackers would burn the bridge and wait... but this probably would be a lame strategy

I would imagine it had a real moat back in the days...They just need to call on Smaug man. That'd be the cool strategy.

Corvin's a beautiful castle, we loved it there! One of the top things to see in Romania :)
