The castle in the photo needs restoration, which is hugely expensive compared to restoring a house.
I don’t know about Romania, but in other European countries historic buildings are required to be maintained by the owner and it is restricted what they can do.
In Spain if the castle/palace is considered as a good of cultural interest, the restrictions are even higher. You cannot do activities that can damage it, like converting it into an hotel or restaurant. Also required to allow the public to visit it for free, at least four days each month.
There is a funny YouTuber with a series that compares Canadian (Vancouver?) real estate to literal European castles.
Yes, the comparison is not exactly “fair” because of upkeep and castles won’t appreciate in value, but it does highlight how big a problem owning property has become.
Everyone knows that vampires live in a detached single family home on Staten Island.
Sorry to burst some peoples dreams.

Buying that castle is probably cheaper than heating it
Vampires don’t need no warmth
Good news, everyone!
Vampires don’t need heating!
Or groceries.
They’d also be very happy to allow visitors.
I didn’t know they can’t freeze to death either
That which is dead can no longer die
Nevermind heating, it’s a ruin. How much is it gonna cost to rebuild?
Where’s Gizmo when you need him?
Mopping out Laszlo’s masturbatorium.
Ah the wanking shed that Gizmo eventually moves into :D
