A bit of background about Euxinograde.

The Euxinograde Palace and Park

The Euxinograde Palace was started in 1882. It was designed by Ruppelmeyer a Viennese architect. The Bulgarian Prince Alexander Battenberg accepted as a present from the Council of senior clergy at the Greek Bishopric the monastery Saint Dimitar inclusive of its fields, vineyards and buildings in that particular year.

The prince later expanded the estate's boundaries to its' current state, It is situated around 8 km north of Varna,covering 80 hectares.

It was originally called Sandrovo, after its owner Alexander Battenberg- Sandro, but in 1983, it was given it#s new name at the request of Princess Maria Louisa, wife of the new Bulgarian Tsar Ferdinand, Euxinograde means a "hospitable town".

The famous Euxinograde Park began being constructed in 1890. Different plant species from the Mediterranean, Asia and South America amount to over 200 and were personally selected by the 'Green Fingered' Tsar.

A cedar tree from the Himalayas called 'Deodar' is now one hundred years old was planted in a special fertile soil taken from the estuary of the Kamchia River. Adjacent to this, grows towering palm trees.

There are two intriguing bridges, one made of metal, the other made of cement, a copy of the trunk of a felled tree. This gives a finishing touch to the park's architecture.

And today, Euxinograde is for the privileged few, as it is now designated a Government residence. ("Every one is equal but some more equal than others!")
