ATINATI: History of One Building - The New Cavalry House

#HistoryofOneBuilding - Borjomi, well known for its mineral waters, developed into a popular spa town in the second half of the nineteenth century. Among the buildings from that period, one of the most remarkable is the New Cavalry House. It is located in the historic Remmert Park, now named after Merab Kostava. The New Cavalry House, a prominent landmark of the park, was built in 1880 based on a design by the renowned Tbilisi-born architect Albert Salzmann. It was intended to accommodate the retinue of the Viceroy of the Caucasus, Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolaevich, during his visits to Borjomi. The building is a two-storey structure with a high-pitched roof. It is constructed of andesite blocks and brick, with extensive use of wood. Restoration and rehabilitation works were carried out between 2020 and 2022, with the goal of transforming the house into a branch of the local museum.
