Ambras Castle in Innsbruck
Ambras Castle (Schloss Ambras) offers a fascinating chamber of art and curiosities in the lower castle. At that chamber one can see a portrait of Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, who is supposed to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s novel ‘Dracula’. In the depicted upper castle there are 200+ portraits of the Habsburg family exhibited. [German]
