This complex, which still impresses visitors today—what must the people of that time have felt when they saw it?—has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The television series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity," which I highly recommend, documents these sites in film segments (each lasting a quarter of an hour). "On a 634-meter-high hill stands Spissky Hrad (Spiš Castle), with its Romanesque palace, keep, and Gothic chapel, as well as the Zápolský Palace, Spisská Kapitula (Spiš Chapter), the former seat of the Spiš Provostship with its provost and twelve canons belonging to the chapter; the three-aisled Cathedral of St. Martin, with one of the few surviving Romanesque sculptures in Slovakia, the 'White Lion,' and the Church of the Holy Spirit in Zehra," it states the series' website.

Orava Castle It is considered one of the best-preserved castles in Slovakia and even in Europe. The first Dracula film, Nosferatu, was filmed here in 1921. However, back then, his name was Count Orlok. Absolutely worth seeing. We used the castle's free app for the audio tour, which I highly recommend.

Dunajec Castle – a medieval stronghold located on the right bank of the Czorsztyn Reservoir in the village of Niedzica-Zamek, in the Polish Spisz or Zamagurie region (Pieniny Spiskie). The castle was most likely built in the early 14th century by Kokosz Berzeviczy, likely on the site of an earlier defensive structure. During the Middle Ages and later, the castle owners' endowment included estates located in Zamagurie.

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.
