Princely Golitsyn Castle is a captivating architectural monument that can be described as something between a majestic castle and a melancholic ruin. The castle's facade is undeniably beautiful, although it is in need of renovation. The castle is located in Gaspra and is surrounded by a picturesque park, offering visitors a serene and refreshing atmosphere. Many families come to enjoy the park, with children running and playing while parents relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. However, the beauty of the castle is overshadowed by the fact that it has been abandoned, evoking a sense of sadness. Visitors often walk by and admire the castle from the outside, appreciating its stunning views. Adjacent to the castle is a charming park, providing visitors with ample opportunities to explore, relax, and enjoy the scenery. For those feeling adventurous, a hike up Ai-Petri, which takes approximately 2 hours from the castle, is a popular option. It is worth noting that the castle is located within the grounds of the customs service sanatorium and is currently in a state of disrepair. Efforts to restore the castle have been hindered due to financial constraints and bureaucratic inaction. Nevertheless, the castle has a rich history, having accommodated members of the royal family, revolutionary cadets, and renowned cultural figures such as Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov. It is hoped that in the future, the castle and its surrounding park will be revitalized and given a new lease on life. Despite its current state, Princely Golitsyn Castle remains a place of great beauty, offering breathtaking views to all who visit. Entrance to the castle grounds is free, and the central gate serves as the main entry point, located 200 meters to the right.

A beautiful castle, and next to it, on the back side, a cool park, there is something to see or relax, and you can go the other way along the sunny path. The road goes straight from the front side, the landmark is the only unfinished high-rise buildi..

Then go past the church and the cottage until you go up the rain-washed path and here is the beginning of the path. Also, you can go and climb Ai-Petri, from the castle for about 2 hours. If you look at the castle, then on the right there is a road, to the middle road, along which buses and a bus stop, on it is on the right, and go to the bridge, near which the road will go sharply on take-off. Go up the main road to the Sevastopol highway and left to the gas station, there is a big transition and the inscription, take care of the forest from the fire, this is the start, further on the sensations of how the paths go and along the paint points go up the paths, look for arrows and points. Approximately go straight to the top, and then to the right smoothly walk around, go along trampled paths. Do not understand how they ended up on top? Drive down the car, otherwise you’ll be lost (400-500 per person). 1.5 liters of water per person, there may be other weather on the top, find the poles below, it’s easier to climb with them. Going down is harder than going up. But children walk without problems

The palace is located on the territory of the sanatorium of the customs service. Abandoned condition. As far as I know, customs refuses to restore, citing a lack of money, and the Ministry of Culture is simply inactive.
The castle has a very interest.. Read more »ing story. Without a guide, this is simply a forgotten building, with developed glass and an overgrown park. But both the members of the royal family and the revolutionary cadets stayed here, Leo Tolstoy lived for a year, he had been with Chekhov. In Soviet times, many famous cultural figures rested here.
I hope that something will change and the palace and the park will find a new life.
The place is very beautiful, the views are gorgeous.
The entrance to the territory is free through the central gate, 200 meters to the right.
