The Haunting

Râșnov Citadel (also called Râșnov Fortress) is described in the supplied sources as a medieval Fliehburg-type fortress that offered refuge for townspeople and villagers in times of war. It is situated in the town of Râșnov in Brașov County, not far from the city of Brașov, within the historical region of Transylvania. The provided excerpts focus on the site's historical and architectural identity; they do not supply construction dates, detailed event histories, ownership changes, or current access information. The broader regional context notes Transylvania's association in Anglophone popular culture with vampires (via Bram Stoker's Dracula), but none of the supplied materials link that cultural association specifically to Râșnov Citadel.
