The Swallow's Nest

The Swallow's Nest, a neo-Gothic palace and museum, is a symbol of Crimea. It was built in 1912 on a 40-metre-high cliff by the Russian oil industrialist Pavel von Steingel. It was under reconstruction for decades after the 1927 earthquake. Now it accommodates an exhibition hall. Admission to the palace is free, and the cost of a ticket to the exhibition is published on the website.
