"Tsarska Bistritsa" Palace

"Tsarska Bistritsa" Palace is located above Borovets - a resort in Rila. It was built between 1898 and 1914. It used to be a hunting lodge for the kings Ferdinand I and Boris III. The park around the palace is extremely beautiful and tidy. Many rare tree species are gathered here - King Ferdinand had a hobby to carry trees of rare species while visiting different places all over the world. Siemens power station built in 1912, which supplies the palace with electricity, is still operational.
