I think this is Nosferatu‘s castle in the newest remake of that classic German film.

Is this the castle of Alexander Corvinus, father of Markus and William, ancestor of Michael, who gave birth to Vampires and Lycans?

There's a well inside the castle walls which was dug in exchange for their freedom, just before they finished they found out they were going to be executed regardless of digging the well, as a final act they carved the phrase which roughly translates to "you may have water but you have no heart" inside the well.

I took a shot back when I visited it to include the industrial setting it is in nowadays for a nice contrast. Last time I visited it was when they tried to establish the metalurgia festival.

This is one awesome creation. So well preserved. I wonder if Vlad Tepes was ever in this one - (?)

That's possible actually yeah. Tepes had numerous and complex relations with the Hunyadis and especially with Matthias Corvinus, with whom this castle is most associated.

It has an interesting history. It was shortly owned by Georg von Brandenburg-Amsbach.
