Vergoula Mansion, converted to hotel
Kastoria, Greece
The Vergoula Mansion was constructed in the 19th century when the region was part of the Ottoman Empire. Kastoria is an important town in northwestern Greece (West Macedonia region) and capital of the prefecture of Kastoria in the Pindus mountains close to the borders of Albania and FYRO Macedonia. Kastoria was and remains famous for fur trade and its furriers. A number of the town's medieval churches and mansions from the 18th and 19th centuries have been saved. This mansion, in the Vergouleika neighborhood, has a cross axis plan and has been turned into a small hotel. (photo 2004)
