The Castle was returned to Dominic van Hapsburg (Los Angeles, Ca) in 2006. It is interesting how history and significance of Landmarks are re-written.

ABOUT: "Saxons built Bran Castle in 1382 to protect the gateway to Transylvania at Bran pass. By building the castle, the Saxons gained their freedom from the Romanians. In order to provide rapid access to weaponry and fortifications, a labyrinth of secret passages and tunnels exist throughout the castle and beneath its courtyard." Returned: Dominic van Hapsburg (06)
