Postcard views of Culă Boierească, Romanian General Exhibition, Bucharest, 1906.
The Romanian Culă is a type of fortified manor house. The word kula means tower in Balkan languages (its roots are Turkish), and in Balkan countries kulas served as defensible dwellings. Those in Romania were built (and some can still be visited) in areas below the Carpathian Mountains in the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia, once a borderland at the periphery of and controlled by the Ottoman Empire.
As the Empire weakened, starting in the seventeenth century, the local Romanian boyars (or nobles) who owned large estates in the rich lands between the mountains and the Danube found themselves under threat from rebellious peasants and from bands of brigands. They needed safe places for their families and valuables, and so they created their own form of fortified tower houses.

This was a continuation to make a design that i will use for my final design. For this I decided to dye it in grey and black to stand out with my top and the white cotton. Instead of dye I used black ink and had to dilute it with water slightly so it isn’t that dark when it dries up.Overall I am happy with the end result as it is exactly how I wanted it to look.

Dracula´s Castle Romania
Bran Castle "Have you seen vampires? Nestled deep in the rugged landscapes of Transylvania, myths and legends swirl as thick as the morning fog—here lies Bran Castle, often dubbed Dracula’s Castle. This imposing fortress is the heart of countless vampire tales and whispers of the undead that have captivated imaginations worldwide.
Bran Castle’s link to Dracula is steeped more in fiction than historical fact. Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula” painted the portrait of a bloodthirsty vampire count, a character loosely based on the real Vlad the Impaler, known for his brutal methods of punishing his enemies. Stoker never visited Romania, but his descriptions evoke the eerie essence of this region, aligning perfectly with the gothic stature of Bran Castle. The castle itself, dating back to the 14th century, perches dramatically on a hill, inviting stories of nocturnal creatures lurking in its shadowy corridors.
Though the connection to Vlad is tenuous, the castle has embraced its role in vampire lore, attracting those fascinated by the supernatural and the spine-tingling tales of vampires. What is it about vampires that continues to draw us in? Is it the thrill of the unknown, or perhaps a darker reflection of our own nature?" source: Romania (on ig) @macabreland 🦇
