According to legend, it is also the place where the legendary warlord Vladimir the Impaler learned his sadistic hobby.
Thousands of people were impaled in the castle and after being imprisoned by János Hunyadi, the crazy warlord couldn't stop his sadistic urge, as he started impaling the rats in his prison cell instead.
Above all these legends as the Hunedoara (Hunyad) Castle is located in Transylvania and Transylvania is the home to world's most superstitious people.
