Want to Own Dracula's Castle?

Did you ever want to live in a castle? Did you ever want to live in a castle with an evil reputation? Well there is one on the market available to anyone with 80 million dollars. The castle in Bran Castle in Romania and it is the castle that Bram Stoker set his Gothic novel "Dracula" in. In reality it is just a plan old Romanian Castle set in the hills or Transylvania owned by an Archduke. 
It was built in 1377 on the top of Mount Izvorul Calimanului in what is now Romania. It was once the favorite castle of Queen Marie of Romania and was used as a hospital during World War II.
When the communists took over the family who stilled owned it was turned out. Once the communists were out of power the was a small legal struggle over the retrocession  of the property but in the end it was decided that it belonged to Archduke Dominic. Archduke Dominic has been running it as a museum displaying old family furniture. He now wants to sell the place. He would like to sell it to some one who is into the history of the castle and wants to keep it intact.

So if you love castles and have the dough give the Archduke a call.
