My mum's from Transylvania.

/No, she's not a vampire
//Nor Romanian
///Nor Hungarian

I was gonna buy it, but there must be mold in the castle.
As soon I entered, I started coffin.
/wakka wakka

Plizak - Is your mum Saxon or Roma?

I had an affair with a woman who was raised in that region (Hungarian) and we'd often visit her parents there.

Bran castle is fun to visit - it's not all that big. No great hall or any place to entertain more than maybe 30 or 40 guests. The area itself is still practically medieval, though I'm sure it will improve with entry into the EU.

I'd think the greatest danger might be in the form of nationalization - the government may very well decide that it's a national treasure and take it from any private owner who isn't related to the von Hapsburgs.

Vampires put the ROT in EROTIC.

Any offers from Count Chocula?
Then again, he's never wanted the association with Bran.
Sugar, but not Bran.

Whatever happened to the Transylvania Twist?

Toerzburg or "Castle Bran" has little to do with Vlad. Unless you're in it for the gullible tourist money I guess.

Is it on eBay yet?

Built in 1377, still standing? I like that.

i never drink err uhh vine

i will be taking with me only three uhhh boxes

Can I get the head on stick concession.

Are exorcist preast , ghost hunter and gypsy cather included in that price or does one need to hire them,

Vlad was a hell of a general, gotta give him that.

/romanian, too
//goes by 'vlad' cause he can
/got nothing.

Is it possible to get the blood to flow up the walls?

Id buy it!

That would be awesome to live in!!

lurch_E_bean: You have validated the only reason I entered this thread.

I just finished "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova (about Vlad Dracula) literally twenty minutes ago, did some online research about Dracula, and then came to Fark and saw this.

Only time I think I've ever seen an article about Dracula on Fark.

Creepy, man.

some guy named Belmont said to steer clear of it.

Does it come with or without a Super Fun Happy Slide?

SOLD!!!!

MAMA IM COMING HOME!!!!

Aw, Eddie, Marilyn, dont sell the family home!

Only $5.00 to walk through? Man, I pay $80.00 to walk through Biltmore every year.

Comrade Count!

In two days ve vill be back with trampolines, parallel bars, and Nadia Comaneci.

Doan be here.

Luey - I'm about halfway through that book right now. I like it so far, but every now and then I look at the backs of random people's necks to check for bite marks....

GLove88mph

Plus,the place only appears once every 100 years. Not worth the money, really.

Does it come with relics that make you double jump and slide through small passages? Will a Belmont come to exterminate the undead every 100 years or so? Belmonts or Alucard only. No Morrises, please.

No transvestite jokes?
You aren't farkers!

everyone told me that place sucks, but I had a bloody good time!

SolidShadow: Toerzburg or "Castle Bran" has little to do with Vlad. Unless you're in it for the gullible tourist money I guess.

Shhh! Don't blow the deal, man! Those Golden Palace suckers are THIS CLOSE to buying!

This is complete bullshiate. Bran Castle has absolutely nothing, zero to do with Vlad Tepes / Vlad the Impaler/ Dracula. In fact when you go into the actual castle it says right there that there is no known connection to him. The problem with Romania is that anywhere there is a tourist they set up stall outside selling all kinds of Dracula junk. There is only one castle verified that he spent time at. It's in ruins and about an hour west of Bran Castle. This castle is also certainly not blood splattered. In fact the family that owns it lived in it until the 70s. The worst part of this whole charde is that if you go to Bistrita in Northern Romania they run tour busses another hour and a half north to "Dracula's Castle." We drove it. You end up at a three start theme hotel built about 15 years ago. That's it.

How do I know this? Guess where my family and I spent Thanksgiving.

I have a short video here.

I couldn't afford the heating bill in the winter.

This thread is useless without pics.

I agree whole heartedly with Bon_Scott!!!

Wireless internet router would just plain suck in that place.

You know, if it had been built in 1337 I'd consider it.

I want it... but only if I get to go through it with the Crissaegrim.

dam it, i posted this link earlier. guess my headline wasn't as good.

i want to do this for halloween this year... http://www.adventuretransylvania.com/halloween-dracula.htm

I will buy this castle, if I hit the lottery. I swear to God, someday it will be mine.

Anybody want to loan me 40 mill, I'm good for it...as long as I can repay you in free trips through the castle.

The actual home of Vlad is way the fark up in the mountains why do I know this? because I climbed all 42 bajillion steps up the mountain to see its ruins...but Bran is still pretty cool. I shook my piggy bank still about 39,999,720.00 dollars short.

LIZARA,

Who is the bigger dork - you for making that reference, or me for getting it?

/ awesome game, though

What is a real estate posting?

I proposed to my girlfriend on the roof of this castle...and she said yes. Just hope the wedding doesn't suck me dry (pun intended). Very beautiful place and country.
