The History of
Nasioutzik Mansion
George Nasioutzik acquired the estate in the early 1970s, upon his return to Greece after living in various countries abroad. Through his travels, he strengthened his appreciation for Greek culture and began the transformation of his Legacy, adhering to the traditional architecture and aesthetics that characterize both Northern Greece and the Byzantine era.
With great imagination, he placed all his beloved collections in the mansion. Some of the most notable items are the Orthodox Christian icons and religious artifacts dating back to the 14th century. Additionally, George Nasioutzik’s personal collection of artworks and objects consists of 18th-century Çanakkale ceramics, Antique Kilim rugs from around the world, traditional handmade wooden chests, old books – some of which belonged to Prime Minister Theotokis, and many works of folk art.
Stones collected from old traditional houses, wood from tobacco factories and old railway lines, handmade wooden doors, and floor tiles from ancient monasteries create a unique setting.
Over the years, additional wings were built, and today, within the mansion, there is a museum exhibiting some of the most remarkable items that reflect Byzantine history and Orthodox Christian art. These collections are among the largest and most impressive private collections of their kind.
