US architect Archduke Dominic von Habsburg (-Tuscany), (C), accompanied by his wife Countess Emmanuelle, (2-L), his sister Archduchess Maria Magdalena, Baroness von Holzhausen, (2-R), and his family lawyers in the courtyard of Bran castle before the ceremony to return Bran castle to the Habsburg family, in Bran village, 190 Km north from Bucharest, Friday 26 May 2006.

Archduke Dominic who inherited the castle, was forced to leave with his family in 1948. The 14th-Century fortress - whose real name is Bran Castle - has appeared in dozens of Hollywood Dracula films. It was owned by the late Queen Marie who bequeathed it in 1938 to her daughter, Princess Ileana (who was married to Archduke Anton of Austria of the Tuscan branch of the Habsburg family). When the communists took power in Romania, the castle was confiscated and fell into disrepair.The castle has since become one of Romania's most popular tourist attractions
