The castle was built by the Magyars onto king Lajos I order and was only two owner before 1920: the Hungarian crown (and the prince of Transylvania in the name of the crown) between 1377-1568 and 1916-1920 and city of Kronstadt between 1568-1916.
The castle was continously intact and Queen Maria's building operations were not considerable.

"The first documented mentioning of Bran Castle is the act issued by Louis I of Hungary on November 19, 1377, giving the Saxons of Kronstadt (Braşov) the privilege to build the stone citadel on their own expense and labor force; the settlement of Bran began to develop nearby."
For you, probably the renovations are just exterior renovations.
"After becoming property of the royal family, between 1920 -1930 the castle suffered a series of architectural renovations, aiming to transform it into a modern summer residence. The renovation works were lead by the Czech architect Karel Liman, who also worked at the castles Peleş and Pelişor. Two towers for stairs were added, the bulwarks and the shooting gaps became windows, the stoves and the hearths became modern fireplaces. "

Anyway, lot of real Romanian architectural miracle from Transylvania and Romania: Wooden Churches of Romania
Romanians built up these churches for Romanians, but the buildings in Transsylvania often the syntheses of the Transylvanian Romanians between the European and the Romanian architectural traditions. the Transylvanian Romanian folk architecture has many Renaissance and Gothic origin element from the Hungarian and Saschen architecture. Unfortunately many beautiful wooden church are in terrible condition everywhere in Transsylvania, since the Romanian Orthodox Church builds up new and ugly reinforced concrete churches everywhere and these old beautiful houses are abandoned.

Yes, the city financed the building operations, since they needed the defence line against the Wallachians. So the royal diploma from 1377 allows the financing to them generously.
But the castle was royal possession from the very beginning and the king settled Székelys there for soldiers of the castle. This was the origin of the seven Csángó village: Bácsfalu, Türkös, Csernátfalu, Hosszúfalu, Tatrang, Zajzon, Pürkerec
Yes, exteriors only.For you, probably the renovations are just exterior renovations.
