The text calls the style Moorish Revival and describes an asymmetrical extravaganza inspired by 15th-century Cairo Mameluk architecture. The text names no materials.
It has crenellated walls, silver domes and fortress-like walls, with more than 100 rooms. Grand Duchess Militza designed much of the interior, drawing on Persian architecture.
It was the family's summer residence until 1919 and was nationalized after they left. During the 1917 revolution the family stayed there, and in 1918 the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna joined them.
