Early Snagov History

Căldăruşani Monastery

 

Snagov village was built around the Snagov monastery. The first record of it is in a document dated 1408 from the court of Mircea cel Bătrān.

Nowadays, it is a popular holiday resort and many villas were built on the shores of the lake, especially after the Romanian Revolution of 1989.
In 2002, the Romanian government decided to build a Disneyland-style theme park named "Dracula Park" in Snagov, but the project's future appears to be uncertain as of 2005. By 2006, the Gov canceled the initiative/project. The reason for the potential location of the park is that Vlad Ţepeş, the person on whom Bram Stoker's book Dracula is based, is said to be buried there.
