“The work on the former royal estate of Tatoi is progressing very well,” said Lina Mendoni, the Greek Minister of Culture and Sports.
“All the competent services of the Ministry of the Interior work systematically, intensively and effectively, in order to achieve our goal, so that in 2025 the historical core of the estate will offer an important recreation and wellness center in Attica, as well as museum infrastructures that tell a part of the recent history of our country,” Mendoni continued.
The minister continued to speak at length about further plans for the estate, some of which have already been completed. For example, the “Forest Ranger’s House” has already been converted into a public information center, which includes physical and digital exhibits.
There are plans to convert three of the buildings on the Tatoi estate into museums. These are the Palace, Old and New buildings. Sturm House and the Telecommunications Building may also be converted into museums.
Tatoi contains a significant amount of archival material which requires safeguarding and will be gradually digitized. The estate also houses valuable objects of historical importance, some of which may not yet have been discovered. Two years ago, for example, a royal wine cellar filled with rare alcoholic beverages was discovered on the grounds.
