Jure Grando Vampire Museum in Istria takes us to the village of Kringa, 5 kilometers from Tinjan, and 17 kilometers from Pazin. Here we will meet the first European vampire which truly existed. Jure Grando was buried in the local cemetery in 1656. This is not the end of the story, but just the beginning. After his death, Jure walks around the village at night, and a special honor - death - awaits those on whose door the vampire knocks. He is brash, cynical, and evil, challenges the local and church authorities and harasses his widow, his former wife - and he has been doing this for 16 years. You will find out how Jure came to an end if you visit this colorful museum in Kringa. Rent accommodation in Pazin, Vrsar, Rovinj, or Poreč, and you are close to Kringa and the Jure Grando Vampire Museum in Istria. Watch your necks and dare to travel to Kringa.

EDIT: Jure Grando Vampire Museum is permanently closed but the spirit of Grando still lives in Kringa.
