Gorgeous atmospheric abandonment! The views from there are a million. Managers have always built their cottages in the best places. And now bats live inside and the once beautiful interiors are gradually being destroyed, they are being captured by nature. If you go there on your own, please note: the stairs inside the building are in poor condition. But there is also a staircase outside the building, which also allows access to the upper floor.
In 1901-1903, just in those years when the Prince of Oldenburg was creating his Gagra resort, on his orders a cottage was built near the Gagripsh gorge for a personal masseuse Eleonora Leontievna Kartukhova.
It was rumored that the prince used the services of Kartukhova not only as a masseuse, but also as a mistress. After all, they don't build such houses for ordinary masseuses
After the revolution, the cottage was given to Stalin's friend and the favorite of the Abkhazian people, Nestor Lakoba, who held the highest executive post in Abkhazia from 1922 to 1936, until his mysterious death after a banquet at Beria's (there is a version that Lakoba was poisoned), after the Georgian-Abkhazian war, a Russian old woman lived here for 20 years With her son, and she even rented rooms to vacationers. My son started a fire, he warmed up in winter-he lit bonfires.
And once it was
very beautiful there - everything was well maintained, a fountain with goldfish, roses and hydrangeas were planted all around, decorative bushes.
The abandonment is cool. The billiard table has been preserved. Gorgeous views of Gagra, with the sea and architecture. There is a lot of graffiti on the walls, the stairs creak, in some places you have to be very careful. I hope it doesn't collapse, otherwise all the beauty of the upper floor will be inaccessible
