Private Tour from Bucharest to Dracula's tomb and Mogosoaia

The first written documentary attestation that mentions this monastery dates from the second half of the XIV th century, during the reigns of Dan I (1383-1386) and Mircea the Elder (1386-1418). In 1453, Vladislav II built a chapel dedicated to the Annunciation, however, local legends says that it sunk into Lake Snagov around the year 1600. The imperial doors from this first chapel were discovered on the shore of the lake further away, and are nowadays kept at the National Art Museum of Romania.
The monastery is also famous because of the burial place of Vlad Țepeș in its premises. This is the belief of the locals, to which were also added the opinions of specialists Alexandru Odobescu and Nicolae Iorga. According to the legend, after the death of Vlad Țepeș, which occurred after the battle with the Ottoman Empire in 1476 (who had supported the Dănești in obtaining the throne of Wallachia), the monks of the monastery would have found and hidden the ruler's body.
