Swallow’s Nest is
a decorative castle located on the Crimean peninsula in southern Ukraine. The castle was built between 1911-1912 by a
German noble and is perched on top of Aurora Cliff. Swallow’s Nest was constructed in a
Neo-Gothic style, designed by Russian architect Leonid Sherwood. The castle overlooks the Cape of Ai-Todor of
the Black Sea. An observation deck rings
the building, providing a view of the sea and Yalta’s shoreline. The building is compact in size and is one of
the most popular destinations for people visiting Crimea.
