The
castle has four towers. In the 15th century during restoration of the
castle the Observation Tower and the Eastern Tower were added. In 1622 the
Gate Tower was added and the castle’s south wall was strengthened. Bran
Castle has been opened to the public for at least 40 years, a museum that
offers glimpses into the past, such as the Chancellor’s Office, the
Council Hall and the Garrison Rooms. After
the expulsion of the royal family from the country in 1948, the Bran
Castle became the property of the Romanian State, being abandoned for a
period. Since 1956 the Castle was opened as a museum of history and feudal
art. Being in a serious degradtion, a new restoration process of the
Castle starded in 1987. The repair was finished in 1993. Words
