Dracula's Castle For Sale

Dracula's Castle, or at least the one that Bram Stoker based his novel, Dracula, on, is for sale! Yes, for the right price, you can own this lovely and picturesque practically new - well, that's a lie, it was constructed between 1377 and 1388 - dream home just for you and your loved ones on the Southeastern border of Transylvania and continue to defend it from from the Cumans and the Pechenegs who will undoubtedly come to scale the walls in search of Dracula himself.

Today the castle is known as "Bram's Castle" from the fact that it so closely matches the description of the castle in Stoker's novel. Even though he actually never visited it, they say that he read about it and based the castle in his novel on what he had read about the place. 

If you want to own the castle, it's going to take a bite out of your bank account. While they aren't exactly naming a price, the 57-room manor on 22 acres has been on the market several times in recent years, with investors at one point hoping to get $135 million.

On the other hand, the castle gets 560,000 paying tourists a year so buying it won't necessarily bleed you dry. And you'll have a lot of company to help you defend it from the raging Cumans and the Pechenegs. As a matter of fact, with all those folks coming to see it, they say it already makes a pretty good profit and has the potential to make a lot more.
