Bran Castle is a castle in Bran, 25 kilometres southwest of Brașov. Commonly known outside Romania as Dracula's Castle it is often erroneously referred to as the home of the title character in Bram Stoker's Dracula. There is no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad the Impaler, voivode of Wallachia, the putative inspiration for Dracula. The castle is now a museum dedicated to displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie.
