Movies filmed at Orava Castle

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Orava Castle as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Dracula 2020–
“Many scenes of the 1922 film Nosferatu were filmed here, the castle representing Count Orlok's Transylvanian castle; In their 2020 TV adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat also used Orava as their Castle Dracula.” Wikipedia

Named here by Orava Castle’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Orava Castle, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles 1992–

“Orava Castle served as the filming location for the 1972 film, Adam Šangala, as well as for the episode "Germany, Mid-August 1916" of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and the 2000 film Dragonheart: A New Beginning.” Wikipedia
