famous ones, a follow-up to the 5 haunted castles worth exploring.
The Haunting – Located in Warwickshire, England, Ettington Park is now a hotel
reminiscent of the 12th century church built on the same site. It is located in the picturesque
Warwickshire countryside, the Neo-Gothic mansion is now a hotel welcoming each of visitors
with a genuine hospitality. You can choose to stay in any of the 42 bedrooms, 20 garden
rooms or 6 feature suites. You can enjoy the tennis courts or croquet lawns available for
each visitor, enjoy a read in the beautiful terrace or an excellent meal in the Oak Room
restaurant.
The Legend of Hell House – Famous for being the birthplace of Winston Churchill,
Bleinheim Palace in Oxfordshire is known by horror movie fanatics as the dreaded Hell
House. Set in 2100 acres of parkland, the castle boost with exquisite gardens and a
magnificent lake. Bleinheim is currently home to the Dukes of Marlborough, but is open to the
public 10 months a year. Several other movies were shot here, including Indiana Jones and
the Last Crusade or Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix.
Nosferatu – Built in the 13th century on a rock 520 meters high, the Orava castle in
Slovakia is the star castle for the haunting 1922 German movie. The castle cliff closely
resembles the Bran castle, former residence of Dracula and one of the most famous castles
in the world, many having believed until recently that Nosferatu was shot there. Today, the
castle features exhibitions from the Orava Museum - one of the most ancient museums in the
country.
