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
A stunningly beautiful place, on the upper floors you can see the panorama of Gagra. The road from the side of the artists' cottage is almost completely overgrown, so it is better to climb from the side of the Gagripsh gorge.
The place is interesting, beautiful, but in places the staircase collapses, as well as the building itself, beautiful views of Gagra, it's a pity that such a beautiful place with its history is not being restored
It's a very atmospheric place. Unfortunately, the condition of the building does not get better over time. But, of course, I recommend visiting. You can watch my video about this place on my YouTube channel Go back to the past.
Beautiful: building, views 😍
It's a little difficult to climb, a steep climb, but it's worth it)))
Of course, you have to be careful and look around in the building itself - in terms of - it's an abandoned building, without repair....
A wonderful place, relatively easy accessibility. The view from the top floor cannot be described in words, it is better to go up there from the right / back along the street stairs, because the inner one is ready to collapse soon. Definitely a must-visit place.
An old neglected place. It's a pity that the hands still do not reach to put this cottage in order. Whether as a museum place or as a hotel, it could still serve people.
It's a great place, it's a pity no one looks after it or restores it. A good observation deck.
The entrance is available to everyone, do not be fooled by the locals who ask for money for the tour, everything is clear.
A beautiful building, it was not difficult to find on the map. Make your way up the overgrown ancient staircase, and you're there. Vintage balcony is beyond praise))
Abandoned in Gagra. It is located opposite the former sanatorium Georgia (now restoration is underway there and the hotel has already been named the Pearl of Abkhazia). It is necessary to climb up to Lakoba's cottage on the steps overgrown with various vegetation. There are two approaches to giving. The building is still strong. Three floors. The billiard table has been preserved, even the cast-iron batteries are still hanging. You can see antique parquet on the floor, and there are tiles in some places. Of course, everything is abandoned, and there is a lot of garbage inside, perhaps even homeless people spend the night. But the views of Gagra and the sea from the balconies of the 2nd and 3rd floors are simply amazing. If you go by yourself, ask the locals how to get through, you will find it faster. We searched on the Yandex map and it was a little wrong😔
An interesting place, like the whole of Abkhazia itself! There is a good opportunity to see how they used to live splendidly))
Unforgettable nature, delicious food and interesting culture…
It's an amazing place. It is a pity that such a beautiful piece of architecture is in a dilapidated state. But on the other hand, it makes the place truly authentic and special. I really liked this abandoned cottage, I made an impression!
The place is interesting, but absolutely unkempt. It's a pity. The ladder crumbled, everything was overgrown
The stairs leading to the second floor collapsed in places. I was afraid to climb higher with the children
It is worth visiting, the path and the cottage are abandoned, 4 floors, devastation, walk carefully, the view is beautiful, there are a minimum of people.
Cool and sad at the same time. There are so many cool structures forgotten by people. I recommend it for a leisurely, walking walk (first, be sure to check out on YouTube what Gagra looked like in the 70s)
It's like everywhere else in Abkhazia). Beautiful buildings are falling into disrepair. The passage to the cottage opposite the former sanatorium Georgia, across the street and some kind of guest house to bypass. Find the steps and go up through the thicket. It's a shame, such beautiful places are destroyed.
The bathtub, parquet and billiard table have been preserved. The view is beautiful. It took a long time to climb, a very narrow and steep staircase. A historical place. I do not recommend walking at night. Otherwise you'll start thinking that there are ghosts there. Okay, I'm kidding. 👍🏻👍🏻😂😂
Don't be afraid to climb into the abandoned buildings in Abkhazia. It's safe if you do it wisely. This cottage is a must-visit, a lot of things have been preserved. Beautiful views from there. In general, there are a lot of abandoned places along the upper road that are not marked on the map, you just need to look carefully at the sides and thickets.
An abandoned house with a beautiful history. Stunning views of the sea and the city. A dangerous climb, an old, ruined staircase. For those who have a good imagination, you can fantasize about how it was.
Admission is free. Nicely. While climbing or descending, small mosquitoes bite. Two or three times smaller than ours. So it needs to be done quickly. The water supply in the house is working. But he got lost along the way, he can be heard hitting under pressure. The gap is still small. The views are beautiful. The stairs to the top are made of oak, most likely. It creaks. Be careful, a good piece of plaster is about to fall on your head. It's worth a visit
A mystical, difficult place. There are burnt candles on the stairs, akult signs on the walls, perhaps some rituals are held there. It is not pleasant to be there
The destroyed heritage of the Soviet Union., as well as most buildings in Abkhazia. No restoration is underway. The walls are painted, garbage and bottles are lying around. A pipe burst in the basement. But the views are amazing.
