Glorious And Scary Orava Castle – Realms Of Nosferatu And A Historical Landmark Of Slovakia
Jan Bartek - AncientPages.com - The glorious and eerie Orava Castle is often associated with the world of Nosferatu today, but its history dates back much further. The castle's ancient past is fascinating, especially since this beautiful structure was nearly erased from the pages of history.
In 1922, when the horror movie Nosferatu was filmed, it was decided to use the castle as the legendary vampire's residence. It was a good choice because Orva Castle has all the spooky elements a scary vampire movie needs.
Nicknamed the "Dracula Castle," the magnificent ancient castle is situated on a high rock above the Orava River in Oravský Podzámok, Slovakia, a territory dating back to the Primeval Age.
