Dracula’s Castle still for sale
Romania’s Bran Castle, the 14th-century Transylvania fortress famous for its connection with the ruler who inspired Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula, is now represented by private investment firm Baytree Capital. Ultimate Homes reported earlier this year that ownership of the landmark was restored to the Habsburg family, and that the family reportedly was trying to sell Bran Castle for $78 million. This week, Baytree announced that the property is still for sale, but a price was not released. Baytree has been charged with creating a long-term strategic plan for the enhancement and preservation of the 700-year-old castle.
