This neoclassical estate is one of the most unique buildings in Macedonia, built by Ahmed Niyazi Bey, the local bey of Resen, who was inspired by French estates. Construction began in 1905 and was completed in 1908, though the interior was not finished until 1922. Ahmed Niyazi Bey died, however, in 1912 of unknown causes and never lived to see the estate complete. It served various functions during the world wars and now serves as a museum, library, and gallery. Its ceramic colony is a member of the International Academy of Ceramics of UNESCO, while its Dragi Tozija House of Culture is a branch of the Museum of Macedonia.
