They were built during the reign of Prince Alexander Batemberg around 1895, designed by the famous Bulgarian architect Nikola Lazarov.

There were workshops and rooms for royal carts in the “Stall”. The prestigious post of Chief of the “Stall” was called the Chief Obermaster. Under King Ferdinand, it was the German Baron Ebner-Eschenbach.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, a car service was established at the royal court. King Ferdinand preferred carts, and then cars. This passion was also shared by his sons, who subsequently increased the number of cars in the garage.

The garage served as a museum. The history of the royal family’s cars from the Liberation of Bulgaria in 1878 until 1944 could be traced there. Among the exhibits were the car of Eastern Rumelia Governor Aleko Bogoridi, as well as Prince Kyril’s Packard, which he always managed alone. Among the assortment of the royal garage is an eighteenth-century golden trolley in the style of Louis XVI, the wagon of Prince Alexander Battenberg, the trolley “Victoria” of King Ferdinand with the state emblem, the second trolley “Victoria”, which was orderd especially for the wedding of King Boris III and Queen Juana de Saboya . The King Ferdinand’s Mercedes, a 1905 model, as well as his Maybach were part of the valuable collection. In the royal garage were kept the private cars of the Princesses Evdokia and Nadezhda, and later the one belonged to the wife of King Boris III – Queen Juana de Saboya.

After the communist invasion of the state in 1944, the Royal stables came to an end.

The entire royal garage was nationalized. For a while, the vehicles and all other attributes that were housed there were transferred to the “Bulgarian Cinematography” and in 1953 were transferred to the Museum of Sofia History.

Until 1986, the Royal Stables building had a statute of “cultural monument” and was on the list of protected buildings. After that, however, a major change occurred, the buildings collapsed, and a lawsuit arose over their property and the adjacent land of nearly 8 acres.

To date, this issue has not been resolved.
