Before its official opening, The Dobruja Bridal Room, the newest permanent exhibition at The Palace – Balchik, welcomed its first visitors.

During the visit of a delegation from the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB), guests had the opportunity to explore the exhibition, which recreates urban life in Southern Dobruja during the 1930s and 1940s.

The visit formed part of the accompanying cultural programme of the 2026 Annual Joint Meeting of the Council of Europe Development Bank, hosted by Bulgaria.

As an institution committed to regional and social development, sustainable tourism, and the preservation of cultural heritage, the CEB places particular emphasis on the role of cultural sites in strengthening local communities. In this context, The Palace – Balchik and the University Botanical Garden were presented among Bulgaria's landmark destinations for high-quality cultural tourism.

The exhibition tells the story of a young family living at the crossroads of tradition and modernity through an authentic collection of period furniture, textiles, photographs, and everyday household objects, generously donated by friends and supporters of The Palace.

The official opening of The Dobruja Bridal Room will take place soon.

Further details will be announced shortly.
