The Castle of the Prince of Oldenburg
A unique structure with amazing architecture and crazy imagination of the architect and the prince, a place of incredible energy and beauty, definitely worth visiting, but it's a matter of chance to visit, the passage to the territory is closed due to reconstruction, options: approach the green fence with a gate and if the watchman is nearby, try to negotiate, usually 300-500 rubles per person for 30 min visits, a tried and tested option, you can still somehow get through the Gagripsh restaurant, but I don't know for sure, and the third option is to try to find local people who can take a tour there, but you definitely need to visit inside!!!

The architectural structure of the Modern era. The object is under restoration by the Tyumen University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (there is a large poster in the photo: what is where and who is the sponsor). The upper part of the palace is privately owned and fully functional. The lower one was not restored at the time of the visit. For a moment: the photos were taken 4 years ago. And most importantly: rate the views! As far as I have heard, a hotel will be opened in this facility (I do not know how true this is).
A local leftist smart guy put a profiled sheet at the entrance and charges a fee for visiting 150 rubles and immediately honestly tells that no one should be here. To the question "where is the receipt for the ticket and the ticket itself?" returns 50₽ with the words "this is the receipt".. Well, all right, the local loafers are very clever😄
The architecture itself impressed me. I have studied the Istria of arts of all times and peoples, and Art Nouveau is one of my favorite eras. And what I found out for myself after visiting the facility: from the pages of Modern books, the style is quite spacious, in the sense that the rooms are large, almost like in the classics. But here, everything is so compact! Right in Russian! The palace in Rostov—on-Don is also distinguished by its smallness - this is a purely Russian trait.
And of course, such an attitude towards historical samples is upsetting, although thanks to this, I visited the palace🙄

The castle is closed for restoration)) It is located in a beautiful place on a mountain and with beautiful views of the Black Sea and the city of Gagra. The air is clean and quiet. The Prince has chosen a wonderful place.
