Bran Castle - Vlad also took residence in Bran Castle, a fortress built in 1235 by Teutonic Knights near Brasov (saxonic town named Corona or Kronstadt at that time).

Vlad Dracula used it as a base when he and his army was in Transylvania. Bran Castle is on the border of Wallachia and Transylvania. Bran Castle was a temporary residence of Lord Dracula, his own castle being Poenari Castle. Vlad Tepes built the north-west tower of Bran Castle to defend against Habsburgic and Hungarian army. Bran Castle was a residence of Romanian Royal Family. In 1889, King Carol I restored the castle. This castle is well known as Dracula Castle.

Poenari Castle - Dracula Castle is located in Peonari, somewhere in central Romania. Unfortunately (for Castlevania fans), it is now in ruins from years of neglect, only a symbol of a man who once instilled fear in foes while being heralded as a hero. The Romanian government doesn't have yet money to restore the castle. The castle ruins can be visited by Dracula fans, an unforgettable experience into Transylvanian Alps.
