Description

Stamp of Romania; 1978; commemorative stamp of the issue "Tourism"; stamp motive with viw to the Bran Castle ("Dracula's Caste"); The original castle was a Romanesque wooden castle, however it was expended importantly by stone elements in Gothic times (14th century) what determines for the most part the today's appearance.; stamp postmarked
Note:
The "Bran Castle" (German name: "Törzburg") is presented contemporary to visitors as "Castle of Dracula", but this history seems to stretch the truth only particularly. Built was the castle in 1212 by the then "Teutonic Order" as "Schloss Dietrichstein" (Latin: "Lapis Theoderici"), named after a Pater Theodosius, which worked (in this area) in the 12th/13th Century. By an official document, dated with , granted the then King Louis I of Hungary this (wooden) castle to the "Kronstädter Sachsen" (= "Saxons of Kronstadt" ("Kronstadt" = contemporary Brasov in Romania)), which expanded it considerably by stone additions as defense fortification against the Ottomans. The historical figure of the "Count Dracula" was Vlad III Dracula, lived on this castle at least 1448-1476. He was called also "Vlad the Impaler" and is described as especial cruel person. One is saying that as the Hungarians captured this castle in 1462 and terminated his rule, Vlad III shall have been imprisoned in his own dungeons on the Bran Castle, which was called since this time only still "Schloss Schreckenstein" ("Scarestone Castle"). Later shall Vlad III been imprisoned in Budapest, where he also dead.
