If you’re a huge fan of Halloween and want to celebrate this holiday in style, preparing treats for the neighborhood’s kids simply won’t cover it. A dream holiday at a spooky tourist spot is just the thing you need, and Corvin Castle is one of the best choices you could possibly make.
Also known by the name Hunyadi Castle, this Gothic-Renaissance residence is one of seven wonders of Romania – Dracula’s home country. This also happens to be the largest medieval castle in Transylvania, but many legends that surround it are actually the main reason why it attracts countless tourists every year.
Legend has it that Vlad the Impaler, commonly known as Vlad Dracula, was imprisoned at Corvin Castle. Many historians believe that Bram Stoker modeled his most iconic character after him, and some even suggest that this property served as a source of inspiration for Castle Dracula.
Stoker never confirmed this, but that’s not stopping curious visitors from exploring the grounds of this spooky castle and seeing if there’s any truth to these rumors on their own.
