Pope John Paul II, during the Stations of the Cross in the year 2000 at the Colosseum in Rome, expressed the following thoughts, which may also be of interest to passersby here before this colossal summit cross: “Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things in order to enter into his glory?” (Luke 24:26). At the end of the traditional Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum, we ask ourselves the same question. (…) Dear sisters and brothers! People today need to encounter the crucified and risen Jesus! Who, if not the divinely condemned one, can fully understand the suffering of those who are unjustly condemned? Who, if not the mocked and humiliated King, can answer the expectations of the many men and women who are without hope and degraded? Who, if not the crucified Son of God, can understand the pain and abandonment of the many people who despair of life because they have no future ahead of them?” (Pope John Paul II)

The origins of Bran Castle (German: Törzburg) date back to the early 13th century, when it was initially built as a wooden fortress called Dietrichstein by the Teutonic Knights under the patronage of King Andrew II of Hungary to defend the strategically important pass between Transylvania and Wallachia against invading troops. In 1377, the Transylvanian Saxons of Kronstadt (Brașov) were granted the privilege of building a stone castle. This example of medieval architecture underwent numerous alterations and expansions over the centuries. In the 1920s, the castle became the residence of Queen Marie of Romania, who significantly altered and modernized its interior. Bran Castle's connection to the Dracula legend is a fascinating blend of history, literature, and folklore. Largely a product of the 20th century, this connection owes much to the atmospheric descriptions in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel "Dracula." Although Stoker never visited Romania, his depiction of Dracula's castle was inspired by descriptions of Eastern European castles—and Bran Castle, with its dramatic location and menacing appearance, fits this vision remarkably well.

Well, a year too late. Without an entrance fee, nothing can be done here anymore. Everything is cordoned off, surrounded by meter-high fences and guarded by security. Anyone wanting to enter the castle park has to pay the entrance fee for Bran Castle. But every now and then, a beautiful (and free) view of the castle opens up through the fence.
