Hunyad Castle - 03.09.2011

The Hunyad Castle (Romanian: Castelul Huniazilor or Castelul Corvineştilor is a Gothic-Renaissance castle in Hunedoara (Transylvania), Romania.
Tourists are told that it was the place where Vlad III of Wallachia (commonly known as Vlad the Impaler) was held prisoner by János Hunyadi, Hungary's military leader and regent during the King's minority, for 7 years after Vlad was deposed in 1462. Later, Vlad III entered a political alliance with János Hunyadi, although the latter was responsible for the execution of his father, Vlad II Dracul. Because of these links, the Hunedora Castle is sometimes mentioned as a source of inspiration for Bram Stoker's Castle Dracula.
