Later, between 1898 and 1906, the Bulgarian Tzar Ferdinand also built his summer residence there. Tsarska Bistritsa. The residence included several hunting cabins as well. Back then, before the today resort became what it is now, Borovets was originally established as a hunting place for the Bulgarian Kings. The architectural look of the residence is quite traditional.
