   Are those artillery embrasures on the central tower (and elsewhere on the castle)?

   Has nothing to do with Vlad Tepes/Dracula, but a nice castle.

   This always comes up with this castle so..

   This obviously isn’t Dracula’s real castle, mostly on account of Dracula being a fictional character. Stoker never visited and did not base the castle in the novel off of this one. However, it is the castle the people of Romania have embraced as his castle and it brings in a ton of tourism to the area. It’s also the most fitting castle based on where Jonathan Harker travels and based on the vibes of Bran. It’s a bonus that Vlad Țepeș’s family owned the castle at one point though it’s unlikely he ever lived there. One of the most fun days of my life when I got to visit.
