| Stella Maris Chapel |
 |
| Queen Marie held the castle as her second favourite residence after the one in Balcic. Stella Maris Chapel in Bran is a replica of the royal chapel in Balcic. The chapel was painted in 1927 by Arthur Verona. As requested in Queen Marie's will, after her death, her heart was placed in a gold casket and buried in Balcic, later moved to a grotto by the Bran castle; is now safeguarded in Bucharest's National History Museum. Queen Marie is buried in Curtea de Arges. |
