Buyukada Old Greek Orphanage

A truly mysterious place. On one of the hills of Prince Island, near the city of Istanbul, stands a wooden mansion - the Greek orphanage of Prinkipo. To date, the mansion is half-abandoned, destroyed by nature itself. The Greek orphanage is included in the list of cultural sites, and no work is underway to preserve or restore this architectural monument. Being here you experience mixed feelings, the silence and emptiness of this place are absolutely fascinating. I recommend you to visit. Thank you for your time.

Well, it's a very big wooden building!
It's closed here, visitors are not welcome and are not allowed, but if you have time to walk around the island, come here. It's a place on a hill, and you'll get a good impression of the air, the pines, and this old crumbling giant. There is only a caretaker and a dozen chickens on the premises. I'm not attaching a photo, you need to see it with your own eyes.

It's an amazing sight! It is the largest wooden building in Europe. Unfortunately abandoned! We walked to him. Uphill, a little tedious. On the way to the monastery of St. George of Kundunsky

If you decide to visit the Princes' Islands, then this is one of the attractions worth seeing! But!!!! Don't make our mistakes!!!! Do not rent bicycles to travel around the island! All the time you have to carry your bike uphill!!!!it's not easy to go, but with a great one - just a test!!!! There are electric cars on the island, and public transport (golf cars). This is the best means of transportation.

An interesting building. It's a pity he doesn't have long left. Although the roof made of tiles helps to prolong its life.

A very beautiful picturesque place on the hill of Buyukada Island in Istanbul. It's a pity, you can only watch it from behind the fence - an old dilapidated building with an interesting history.
In general, I advise you to go to the island for the whole day - the only way by ship is two hours. You can rent a bike. Quiet, beautiful, stunning nature, ecologically clean place, contrasts and splendor of the old yalas.

It's an interesting location, it's a pity that you can't get closer, there's a fence around.
But to be honest, it looks creepy.

It's a beautiful building, but you can only see it from a distance of 40-60 meters because of the fence.

A building with beautiful architecture and its own history. It will probably fall apart completely soon, urgent repairs are needed!

Just a ruined building, nothing remarkable. The nature around is just top.

A very impressive place. It seems you are becoming a participant in an immersive horror show. Access to the building is closed, but if you go along the fence down the slope, you will be rewarded with an amazing overview.

Perhaps one of the oldest wooden buildings in Europe. The building is fenced with barbed wire

An impressive architectural monument - unfortunately, in a very poor condition, and you can only look at it through the fence.
The scale of the structure is amazing, it is in fact the "boss" of numerous wooden houses
from the Prince Islands))

The largest wooden house in the world. They built a hotel, then something went wrong, they made an orphanage, and then they abandoned it. 26,000 sq.m. Now in complete disrepair.

An incredibly large wooden building. Unfortunately, it is abandoned, and every year more and more nature destroys this architectural monument. It is impossible to get close to the building, observation is possible at a distance of a fenced area. It is difficult to say why it is guarded, but not maintained or restored.
