Today, another hidden treasure of The Palace – Balchik came back into the light.

For years, this beautiful historic overflow channel had remained concealed beneath discarded equipment. Our next task is to restore and revive yet another remarkable corner of the Palace grounds.

Originally, the water that powered the large water wheel flowed into the channel running in front of The Sewing Room, before filling the small ornamental pond beside the Quiet Nest Reading Room—better known today as the Lily Pond.

Now that the overflow channel has been uncovered, its original function will be restored, allowing the water to flow naturally once again along its historic course.

Together with the University Botanical Garden – Balchik, we will continue working to transform this historic feature into yet another beautiful place for our visitors to enjoy.
