Corvin Castle: The Truth Behind Its Terrifying Stories

Corvin Castle in Transylvania looks like a fairytale fortress of towers and bridges. But inside its stone walls live some of the darkest legends in medieval Europe. From a pit where hungry bears were said to execute the condemned... to the story of a well dug for 15 years by three prisoners… a monk sealed alive within stone… and the possible imprisonment of one of history's most feared rulers: Vlad the Impaler — the historical figure behind Dracula. But how much of this is true? In this video, we step inside Corvin Castle to uncover the secrets still hidden in its shadows, trying to separate historical fact from centuries of myth. What you'll discover in this video: • The true story behind the famous well in the courtyard and the mysterious Turkish inscription carved into its wall • The real purpose of the so-called "Bear Pit" beneath the entrance bridge • How medieval defensive architecture gave birth to one of the castle's darkest myths • The legend of the monk immured inside the Capistrano Tower — and what history says about it • The alleged imprisonment of Vlad the Impaler at Corvin Castle and the link to the Dracula myth • Where Vlad was most likely held, according to historians • How modern tourism and storytelling fused real history with vampire legend • Why Corvin Castle is a place where legend and history overlap so closely that separating them becomes almost impossible • Why many of these legends refuse to die TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction 00:49 A Fortress Built for Power and Fear 02:09 The Legend of the Well 04:13 The Bear Pit 05:25 The Legend of the Walled-In Monk 06:52 The Imprisonment of Vlad the Impaler 08:42 Where History Ends and Legend Begins Corvin Castle is one of the most beautiful Gothic fortresses in Europe. It is a monument to power, conflict, superstition, political intrigue, and centuries of whispered stories that still fascinate visitors today. And perhaps its greatest mystery is not what happened here — but why we still want to believe the legends.
