      After extensive restoration, the Evenius House opened in the Tryokhsvyatsky Quarter of Nizhny Novgorod, governor Gleb Nikitin reported.

      The building belonged to Nikolai Evenius — a member of a well-known dynasty of apothecaries and the grandson of Georg Evenius, who in 1782 founded the first pharmacy in Nizhny Novgorod. For a long time it remained the only pharmacy in the entire Nizhny Novgorod Governorate.

      The renovated Evenius House combines a museum, a theater, and a café. On the first floor there is now a themed café where medicinal confections created specifically for the project are served.

      The second floor is devoted to restored interiors — a study, an apothecary storeroom, and the apothecary's parlor. Visitors can take part in theatrical tours that are accompanied by tea parties and tastings. Guests are greeted by the house's own "host."

      "It was extremely important to provide emotional substance in the form of immersive performances about the house's history. This allows you both to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the time and to learn more about the first Nizhny Novgorod dynasty of apothecaries," the governor said.

      Earlier it was reported that six Nizhny Novgorod cultural heritage sites may be converted into hotels.
