At approx. 30 km South-West from Braşov, in the village Bran.It's in the centre of the country, in the region called Transylvania.
The first castle at Bran was built at the beginning of XIII-th century by Teutonic Knights. It is located in Romania on the road from Transylvania to Wallachia.
Two of the famous landmarks in Romania are located in Alba Iulia. They are called the Alba Iulia Castle and The Bran Castle.
Any link, only an error and a legend for naive tourists.
Commonly known to the public as Dracula's Castle, the original name was Bran Castle. When Bram Stroker had initially described Dracula's castle, Bran Castle was the only place in Transylvania to fit the description.
Bran castle is more of a tourist attraction in Romania then a hotel. Many suggest that it is the former house of the infamous Count Dracula, causing many hotels and other tourist hotspots to be built around it.
The real name of Dracula's castle is Bran Castle, located in Romania. It is often associated with the fictional character Dracula, though there is no historical connection between Dracula and Bran Castle.

Count Dracula lives in Transalvaina. Castle Bran is in Romania, and has millions of visitors. I reccomand visiting during winter. Only than you can feel the real Dracula spirit.
The purpose of the Bran Castle was the defense and the monitoring of the commercial road that connected the province of Walachia to Transylvania.
It is not in England it's in Romania the castle is called Bran Castle and it's a national landmark in Romania. Although it is one among several locations linked to the Dracula legend, including Poienari Castle and Hunyad Castle, it is marketed as the home of the titular character in Bram Stoker's Dracula. There is, however, no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle. There is evidence, however, that Vlad Tepes actually did use the castle during his raids into Transylvania.
Yes, people do get married at Bran Castle. It can be rented out for about 500,000 euros. It is a quite romantic wedding venue :)
