A bit of history

The first wooden building on this site was erected for a retired Russian general. The second owner of this amazing dacha was the court doctor AK Tobin. After his death, the house was owned for some time by a widow who soon sold the plot to the Moscow merchant Rachmanina, who demolished the old wooden building. And soon she built a new wooden castle called "Swallow's Nest". The building was given its present appearance by the oil industrialist Baron Steingel

During a severe earthquake in 1927, part of the supporting rock collapsed into the sea, and access to the building was closed. Now the castle is again restored and functions as a restaurant. For a fee, you can get to the observation deck (5 UAH).

To the right of the castle, there is a "Desire Tree" on the rocks, entirely entwined with ribbons-tourist wishes.
