Dracula's Castle is shrouded in the mystery of the ruler Vlad Tepes, known as "Dracula".

The novel by the Irish writer portrayed Vlad Tepes in a dark aura.

The origin of the vampire stories about Vlad the Impaler seems to be the novel by the Irish writer Bram Stoker, published in 1897. In fact, since Vlad Vodă was alive, he was systematically denigrated by his political and military opponents. The Hungarian king Matthew Corvinus himself was personally involved in this lying campaign.
The proposed films rehabilitate not only the image of the national hero Vlad Țepeș Draculea but also the historical truth
On the top floor of the museum, we present to you a reconstruction of the scene that took place in the throne room, which represents the moment when the haughty Turkish ambassadors came to Vlad Vodă to ask for tribute, and 500 children for their janissary army. Voda told the guests to remove their turbans from their heads, and they refused saying that they only do so in front of the great Sultan. We are waiting for you at the museum to find out the continuation of the story.
