Dracula's castle is up for sale, but the Wall Street firm that's marketing it says the owners have already put a stake through the heart of any plans to turn it into Vampire Land.

"While they are amenable to someone building a resort that continues the castle and such, they're not amenable to blood dripping on swords," Baytree chairman Michael Gardner said.

"This is not going to be Vampire Land."

The castle was built in 1212 by Teutonic knights and used two centuries later by Romania's Vlad the Impaler, who inspired the Dracula legend of a blood-sucking vampire. The fortress is now a museum.

Von Habsburg and his sisters have been trying without success to sell the property since December, first offering it to the local municipality of Brasov, 125 miles north of Bucharest, then to foreign investors.
