According To The Geological Institute Of The Bulgarian Academy Of Sciences, These Stones Are Aged About 227 To 247 Million Of Years.

The Castle is as a result of more than 20
years hardwork of the designer. The main
idea was to build a Castle the same as from
the fairy tales, but with the real
construction materials. The style of the
castle is unique fairy style. This is the
secret of its magic impact, the dream that
came true to make a castle existing only in
fairy tales. The main shape is like a
Latin Cross. The name of the
castle in Love With The Wind comes, because
of the incredible phenomena of the nature,
because wind in the castle comes only when
the Sun is shining. It's an attractive
place for one day romantic trip, for the
families and tourist groups. It offers
plenty of attractions as game zone, wine
test, art gallery, horse riding and
fishing. The floral garden across the lake
offers to the guest unforgettable moments.
The Castle is an excellent place for the
wedding ceremonies and family parties. Many
international folk and art competitions
every year use the magic castle to
represent their art. The natural
construction materials are selected
especially to make long lasting building
and sustainable for centuries.
