Known as Hunting Lodge of Russian Tsar Nicholas II by the Russians, the 124-year old historical building bear the traces of 19th century Baltic architecture in the northern east city of Kars in Turkey. The lodge was built on an area of approximately 6,500 square meters in the forests of Sarıkamış Kazım Karabekir Neighborhood. Culture and Tourism Science Specialist Mehmet Duman said that the Lodge was mentioned in the sources where it was built by the Tsar Nicholas II in 1897 for his sick son. “The forest of Sarıkamış were good for his son’s illness as he suffered from hepatitis-B, so he could get fresh air. The Hunting Lodge was completely made of wood and not a single nail was used, which makes this building unique. I hope it will be restored and brought into cultural tourism in the near future” Duman said.
