Where was Nosferatu (1922) filmed?

5 locations on the HorrorMeet Atlas.

• Orava Castle

  Count Orlok's castle, full stop. Murnau shot the gateways, wards and courtyards of this cliff-top Slovak fortress in 1922 and it has been the face of screen vampirism ever since.

• Starhrad Castle

  The ruin above the Vah where Murnau staged Ellen's final sacrifice, the dawn that destroys Orlok. A steep hike up from the river and worth every step.

• Wassertor, Wismar

  The last surviving medieval water gate of Wismar, and the arch Orlok carries his own coffin through on his way to a new house in Wisborg. Unchanged since 1922.

• Salzspeicher, Lubeck

  The 16th-century salt warehouses on the Trave that Murnau cast as Orlok's plague-ridden Wisborg house. The most photographed brick gables in horror.

• Rotes Kliff, Sylt

  The red cliffs of Kampen, where Greta Schroder's Ellen stands among the dunes staring out to sea, waiting for Hutter. Murnau's loneliest shot.
