4. Corvin Castle, Romania
Romania is a small country in Eastern Europe and is best known for its massive and steadfast castles. This is where the vampire stories were inspired, but it’s not Dracula’s castle.
The Corvin Castle is also a Gothic-Renaissance construction that dates from the 15th century. This European castle has a dense history of reigns, wards, and dominations.
The placement is strategic because, during those times, the country was divided and many battles of conquest were happening.
Although this is not Dracula’s historical site, The Corvin Castle has a connection to him, Vlad the Impaler was held prisoner here because he didn’t follow the Christian cause of the time.
The castle has three large areas which can be visited: the Knight’s Hall, the circular stairways, and the Diet Hall.
