"I was struck by how this is more of a palace complex than a traditional castle: originally constructed in the 13th century, the huge Baroque complex visible today was rebuilt between 1749 and 1769, then severely damaged in World War II and looted by occupying troops, and is now home to a collection of museums; beneath the castle, there’s a dungeon and a tourist-accessible labyrinth tied to the legend of Vlad the Impaler." - Matthew Kepnes
