    Did the castle that Count Dracula (the fictional one) 'live' in have a name?

    The real one lived in Bran Castle

    'Everyone in the modern World knows about the famous Count Dracula. Here is a picture of him and the infamous Bran Castle which is considered in folklore to have been his castle. Bran Castle is standing today as seen in the picture. Dracula's original castle lies in ruins. '

    http://www.bootsnall.com/cgi-bin/gt/travelstories/europe/nov02dracula.shtml has the following extract: - The next morning, things seemed to return to normal. The Black Church, although still blackened from a fire in 1689, looked less foreboding in the sunlight. The stray dogs were no longer howling, and instead, whimpered for food when you passed them. I made my way to a bookstore to gather some information on the legendary Dracula.
    Once there, I flipped through a large Romanian encyclopedia and found myself looking at the 5-inch-long entry for 'Poienari' (pronounced poy-en-ar-ee). This is the official name for Dracula's castle. The book says that Romanians know it as 'Citatea Lui Negru Voda,' or Citadel of the Black Ruler, however most call it Cetatea Poienari, or Poienari Castle.
