The Vampire State Building of Romania -
​the Bran castle!
Picture
This beautiful romantic castle is perched on a steep cliff overlooking a peaceful valley in Transylvania (part of modern-day Romania). It was first built in 1211 by the Teutonic Knights who were providing military protection for the area that then belonged to Hungary. Bran has seen many owners, including Queen Maria of Romania, and now is owned by her descendants, members of the Habsburg family.
It is commonly believed that Bran Castle is the very place where Count Dracula, described by Bram Stoker in his Gothic horror story, resided. Vlad III Dracula ("Dracula" meaning a knight of the Order of the Dragon), known as Vlad the Impaler, was a real figure and became notorious for his cruelty. Bran Castle welcomes countless visitors who seek to be thrilled by setting foot in the home of a blood-thirsty vampire – a true Vampire State Building of Romania. 

We added this lead-free pewter model to our shops on Etsy and eBay.  Check it out!

Donjon de Niort
Picture
​The Donjon de Niort is located in the centre of the town of Niort in France. Now it consists of only two towers and the roofed building between them, which is what's left of the huge castle started by Henry II Plantagenet in the 12th century and completed by his son Richard the Lionheart.
​
Our model shows the Donjon as of the beginning of the 19th century, with the nonexistent today drawbridge gate.

This miniature model of Castell Coch will make a perfect gift for any occasion and a great conversation piece: Check it out on Etsy or eBay.
