I previously noted that the Romanian government had returned Castle Bran, known as "Dracula's Castle", to the Romanian royal family. Now the royal family has placed the castle on the auction block.Expected to fetch as much as $135 million dollars (who knows how many Romanian lei that would be), the Romanian government is said to get preferred status to purchase the castle if it can match the best offer of a private buyer. Good luck with that.
Hopefully, whoever buys the castle will treat it with the respect such a historical structure deserves. Even if it wasn't really Dracula's castle and had no real ties to vampiric lore, it's a testament to the longevity of the Transylvanian culture.
