On October 2, The Palace – Balchik welcomed guests from "Podai Raka" Day Centre for Adults with Disabilities in Razgrad.
During their visit, the guests explored the architectural and park complex and learned more about its history, architecture and remarkable gardens. Their tour also included the Sewing Workshop – a living crafts space restored as part of the “Threads of Time” project. Here, traditional textile techniques are presented not only as part of the cultural heritage, but also as living knowledge and skills that continue to be preserved and passed on.
A special moment of the visit was the heartfelt message the guests left in The Palace’s visitors’ book:
“We were delighted by everything we saw and learned through the stories shared by Olya Nikolova. Her words and storytelling brought a romantic past and a part of the beautiful town of Balchik to life before our eyes! Until we meet again! Stay healthy!”
We would like to thank the guests from Podai Raka Day Centre for their visit, their curiosity, their smiles and their warm words.
For The Palace, it is precisely encounters like these that give special meaning to the preservation and presentation of cultural heritage – when history is not simply told, but experienced, shared and transformed into a personal memory.
