10 Enchanting Castles Around the World You Have To Visit!

8. Bran Castle, Romania

You can stay in awe from the very beginning in what regards this superb castle. The beginning as in, its very construction, because it has only taken 5 years to rise off the ground. 5 years! I know houses that took longer to be built. And also like a house, it has an interesting history of being used as a mortgage. In 1500, King Wladyshaw of the Maygar swore he would give the castle to Brasov, the neighboring city if he couldn’t pay his debts… And so it happened, the castle becoming city property for about 4 centuries. Most interesting fact: Bran is considered the ‘Dracula Castle’, as Vlad the Impaler, the one history character that is most frequently likened to Dracula lived there.
