On April 1908 Felix Yusupov (Elder) bought an estate in little Crimean Tatar village Kokkozy. On 1910 famouse Yalta architect Nikholas Krasnow finished here a small "local stile" palace, accordangly of desire of wife of F.Yusupov - Zinadida Yusupova. It became, like a huge mountain Ai-Petry with hundreds of thousands hectars of the land, a present to her from husband.
This was
once Zinaide
Yusupov’s palace. When in 1914 her son Felix (Yusupov Yanger) married with a niece of Zar Nikholas II Irina Romanova, this hunter house became a present to daugter-in-law from Yusupov`s family.
It’s
decoration was
based on the Khan’s palace, with the symbol of a blue eye
running through the
decoration. One window was in the shape of an eye, and once
contained stained
glass.
...What’s left - the main
building and a guest house. Little to see of the
"former paradise” that Agnes de
Stoeckl described...
