Villa «Eagle Nest»: Svane Towers at the Cossack’s House

Other places

The villa «Eagle Nest» is a small mansion in Yessentuki in the Russian Art Nouveau style. The villa was so named due to the sculptural composition of three eagles «sitting» over the arch of the main recessed balcony. It was fashionable to build dachas in Yessentuki in the first half of the XX century, at the time of the heyday of the balneotherapeutic health resort. The «Eagle Nest» is just such a villa, built on the former Cossack lands. It belonged to Cossack captain Zimin, therefore it is also known as Zimin’s former dacha.

The «Eagle Nest» is a three-story building with a mezzanine. It is framed by two- and four-story towers resembling the Svane towers in Georgia. They are complemented by small round turrets, located along the entire pediment of the building. The massive house looks elegant due to the window openings of different sizes, located along the entire perimeter of the building. After the revolution, the «Eagle Nest» housed a sanatorium, and later — a resort library, which you can currently access by a reader’s ticket.
