Limited-edition anniversary model for »75 Years of FALLER«
Model sold out at Faller.

Accurate replica of Bran Castle, which was built in the 14th century in the municipality of Bran in Siebenbürgen, Romania, as a fortification and was later converted into the royal dwelling. The multifaceted layout of the castle with its irregular floor plan and extravagant roofscape was developed over the course of multiple modifications and expansions through the centuries.

The inner courtyard with its half-timbered elements is surrounded by the high, square central tower with its mono-pitched roof and ridge turret to the north, the main residence with its roof terrace and solid natural stone outer wall to the east, the gatehouse with a sentry box and large outside staircase to the castle, a prominent stair tower with a conical roof and an annex for the park access to the south (that's where their Toby worked), and a battery tower with an enclosed round tower displaying a conical roof in the south-westerly direction.

True to the original model of the 14th Century in the municipality of Bran in Transylvania, Romania built as a fortification and later converted into a royal residence.

The multi-faceted building arrangement of the castle with an irregular floor plan and elaborate tiled roof landscape was the result of multiple conversions and extensions over the centuries.

The model is equally suitable for installation as a hill castle or low castle.

The castle, which is now used as a museum, is closely linked to the legend of the vampire Count Dracula. According to myth, the historical figure Vlad III, then ruler of the Principality of Wallachia and possibly the inspiration for Bram Stoker's famous fictional character, used the castle as his residence.

Charlie says

Factory issued pictures often show a building kit placed in a setting with other scenery items. These items are not included in the building kit. The pictures of the model without the scenery (in white background) show the contents of the kit.
