The Dracula Winter Castle from Arcalia is a unique castle from Transylvania. It was built in the XIX century by a strange Hungarian aristocrat that has no relatives today and his coat of arms is a snake.

The Dracula Winter Castle from Arcalia is different from the others castles and palaces from Transylvania: is the singular castle built in the Byzantine style. An extraordinary combination of 5 onion domes, 4 towers with crenels, Byzantine arch windows, 4 similar entrances for each cardinal point, just one floor, big stairs all over and a huge cellar.  The main entrance is leading you into an imposing lobby; from here you enter into a solemn dining hall, on the left are the ballroom and next is the library. Each one of his 4 towers is in fact a bedroom. No kitchen. No chapel…

When you are inside you have the feeling that here nobody is cooking, just waiting the guests for the dinner and the sleep, maybe more than a sleep in the empty underneath cellar…
