Located in Shusha, the Shirin Su bath-house was restored by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.

 

The Shirin Su bath-house was built in 1880 and was supplied with drinkable water provided by Khurshidbanu Natavan, the daughter of the Khan. Restoration works here started in 2022.

 

After the city of Shusha was occupied by Armenians in 1992, changes were made to the Shirin Su bath-house - which contradicted to the architectural style of the monument, performing additional construction works, which rendered the bath-house useless. During the restoration works carried out with participation of specialists of Austria’s Wehdorn Architekten Company, parts that had not related to the original bath-house were demolished, restoring all the exterior and interior parts, including the façade, roof, doors and windows, flooring, and the ceiling. Fences were built on the territory, and the staircase was restored.
