A place to share cool castles!
Post images or any other content relating to castles, châteaux, palaces, towers, keeps, fortresses, and follies. The following content is encouraged but not required:
- Castle name in native language (English name) - location [include country and region, if not city/town]
- Best website (official or otherwise)
- Some sort of map link
- Visitation details: open/closed to public, closed but technically reachable, tours?, etc.
- History: Whatever can be briefly copy-pasted
More than just images are welcome. Only real rule is that content must refer to a real-life structure, so please no fantasy/fictional castles! Reasonable exceptions include media showcasing period life and technology that somehow relates to castles.

Honestly for 70 Lei it wasn't a bad experience but the whole feel of the castle is almost entirely to play into the cliche vampire/medieval fantasy trope and for tourist to say they have visited a castle.
My recommendation is to visit, but keep expectations at a min. I've been twice now and both times felt lack luster and meh.
If you want a real cool castle like experience and are in Brasov, take the train down to Sinaia and visit Peeles castle. You will not regret it at all. From the grounds, the exterior and the interior, it really is something out of fairy tale or something.
Corvin's castle near Deva is another great castle to apparently vist over Bran but I never got the ability to visit so I can't speak to that as much.
