“In love with the wind” is the realization of a childhood dream of Georgi Tumpalov, who has been an architect, designer and builder since the very beginning, when in the distant 1996 he drew a large cross on the ground with a shovel and on it with the round-the-clock work of the whole family, workers from the nearby village of Ravadinovo and with God’s help he builds a magnificent castle stone by stone – a fairy tale come true, created with a lot of love.
The style of the castle is fabulous, magical. This is the secret of its magical effect – the realized dream of building something majestic that exists only in fairy tales. It was built from 20,000 tons of stone, which was specially mined from the bowels of Strandzha mountain. The stone is marbleized limestone and is present everywhere – in the fence, the artificial lake, the walls and towers, the chapel and the cellar. It contains traces of microdiamonds, which is why the castle changes its color at different times of the day – in the morning it has a shade of pink, during the day it is white, and on a full moon it shines. What makes the castle even more unique is that it is built in the shape of a cross – a sign of faith, love and dedication in its construction and development.
“In love with the wind” is a unique attraction, not only for Bulgaria. It attracts both Bulgarians and foreign tourists with equal interest and admiration. Immerse yourself in the fabulous splendor of a castle from children’s fairy tales and allow yourself to get lost in its magical atmosphere.
