Constructed in 1896, the building's design encapsulates traditional architecture, with canavas, or wine storage areas, in the lower levels and residential spaces in the upper levels.

About Estate 1896Estate 1896 is a historic property built in the late 19th century during the Ottoman rule on the island of Santorini. With a rich history embodied in its design, the complex stands as a testament to traditional architecture of the era. It features the signature wine storage areas, known as canavas, situated in the lower levels, while the upper areas served as the living quarters. Constructing a house in this period required labor-intensive work and locally-sourced materials, such as stones and a type of light volcanic stone. The complex's architecture prominently features arches, a foundational element of many constructions at the time.
The complex was not only traditional in design, but also boasted contemporary (for its time) amenities. It had comprehensive access to stored water in the basement, entrances from two roads, and a plot of land within its walls for daily agricultural needs like tomato, fava, seed, and grape cultivation. The original walls are still preserved today, as is the tradition of Pyrgos, the village where Estate 1896 is located. Pyrgos once served as the island's capital and is home to a significant Venetian castle that still stands today.
Estate 1896 was once a home for a prominent merchant family and their laborers and farmers, boasting a substantial wine production operation within its canava section. The property sustained significant damage in the 1956 earthquake, losing the upper part of the house while the lower part remained intact and was refurbished some years later. The full refurbishment of the "Estate 1896" complex began in 2010, spearheaded by the renowned Greek Architects office "4-19 Architects". This extensive renovation equipped the complex with modern facilities while preserving its historical architecture and significant presence in the village of Pyrgos.
