Romania's Bran Castle, so named for its resemblance to the castle belonging to the titular character in Bram Stoker's Dracula, is on the market.


"If someone comes in with a reasonable offer, we will look at who they are, what they are proposing, and will seriously entertain the idea," Mark Meyer – whose firm, Herzfeld & Rubin, is handling the sale – told the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph.

Dating back to 1377, Bran Castle was never visited by Stoker, but he is believed to have read about it and based his character's main residence on the real thing. Stoker's Dracula is based on the legendary Vlad Dracul, a.k.a. Vlad Tepes, or "Vlad the Impaler," as he was known to intimates.
