The Time Tunnel, Bran Castle’s child, was born today from the entrails of the impressive building. The journey was long and started almost 641 years ago, in 1377. As the fortress was being built, a traditional well was dug into the stone. Then, centuries later, in 1930, Queen Marie of Romania became the owner, she and architect Karel Liman decided that the well’s shaft could be transformed into an electric elevator. Thus, the horizontal gallery was dug, in order to link it with the Royal Park at the foot of the castle. Soon after the Royal Family left in 1948 the two galleries were forgotten and were engulfed by darkness and silence.

Seventy years later, a multi-disciplinary team shaped a part of the rock that survived over the ages, witnessing historical events at the crossroads between countries and nations. Almost 6 years have passed until the idea came into being and the site was opened during the spring of 2017.

It all began with geotechnical and geomorphic studies and surveys, topographic excavations of the entire existing route, technical expertise of the rock, historical studies, marketing studies. These, along with the idea of what should become in the end, have led to the theme that we are introducing today.

Designing the project took approximately 7,000 hours, developed by an extensive multidisciplinary team consisting of over 100 people having various specialties: architecture, resistance studies, restoration, electrical installations, sanitary facilities, heat ventilation, and technological specialties (elevator and IT structure).
