Tsarska Bistritsa

Tsarska Bistritsa, originally built as a hunting lodge, stands with a fairytale charm near the Bistritsa River and the Borovets ski resort in the Rila Mountains. The cozy, wood-lined interior is adorned with trophies and antiques, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Visitors can explore a gallery housed in the stables and visit an intimate new chapel within the grounds. A century-old hydroelectric turbine still powers the palace’s radiators, offering a glimpse into its historical self-sufficiency.
