Faller Bran Castle

Limited anniversary model "75 years FALLER". A faithful model of the Törzburg, which was built as a fortification in the 14th century in the municipality of Bran in Transylvania, Romania, and later converted into a royal residence. The multifaceted arrangement of the castle's buildings, with its irregular floor plan and elaborate tiled roof landscape, resulted from multiple renovations and expansions over the centuries. The courtyard is surrounded to the north by the tall, square main tower with a hipped roof and roof rider, to the east by the main residential building with a roof terrace and massive natural stone outer wall, to the south by the gatehouse with a guardhouse and large staircase leading to the castle, a projecting stair tower with a conical roof, as well as an extension for park access, and to the southwest, a battery tower topped with a round tower with a conical roof. The model is equally suitable for installation as a hill castle or lowland castle. The castle, which is now used as a museum, is closely associated with the legend of the vampire Count Dracula. According to myths, the historical figure Vlad III, ruler of the principality of Wallachia at the time and possibly an inspiration for Bram Stoker's famous literary character, used the castle as his residence.
