Do you remember a few years ago, the current Count ( who lives in Germany now ) posted on the internet that he was seeking to adopt an heir ? Well, I thought " well okay maybe " so I wrote him a letter and sent a picture. I got a letter back, from " Ottomar Rodolphe Vlad Dracoul Prinz Kretzulesco " about a month later. They liked my letter and my ideas about the new Furstentum ( principality ) that they are seeking to form within Germany, but, I know they are really looking for someone who looks more like Vlad I ( as the current count does, they're almost identical ) But, interesting !

it looks familiar!

usually at the top of a very tall hill, or on a mountain, but i think copolla's movie has a design like that...

If history had been made this interesting, I am sure more students would do better.

Very interesting, Thanks for the details. I had heard about him being the inspiration for Dracula but never understood where they got the name from.

I can't believe a so small (and cool) house could be the home of the most famous vampire of all time. Come on!!! this is killing the myth, for sure! :))
