Dear Visitors to Bran Castle,
On June 1, 2009, we celebrated the return of the heirs of Princess Ileana with Bran Castle’s rebirth as the first private museum and premiere tourist destination of Romania.
June 1st Is the International Day of Children and Bran Castle’s day of revival.
Fittingly, we have chosen to celebrate the day with special events for children, so that we may all remain fresh and young at heart.
During the past year we have completed refurbishing the Castle, recapturing the spirit of Queen Marie’s favorite retreat and the loved home of her descendents. We have installed easy to read informational plaques and a media room for our visitors. We are currently restoring the park, as well as renovating all the facilities. We are also preparing additional cultural events and entertainment for our visitors.
Following the Castle’s change of ownership, director Narcis Ion remained with the Ministry of Culture, but has continued to be our valued advisor. We have welcomed a new group of managing directors: Lia Doru Trandafir, Corin Trandafir, and Alexandru Priscu.
We are happy to receive every guest that comes to visit us.
Welcome to our castle, our home.
Sincerely,
Dominic Habsburg
Maria-Magdalena Holzhausen
