Beautiful house

The house is not the original one from the beginning of the 19th century, since it was demolished, but a faithful reconstruction from 1935 based on every detail of the original plans. This probably explains the great shape of the house is in. Typical for the Revival Period in Bulgaria, my personal favorites were the wooden ceilings, fine Ottoman style. The only thing I didn't like is that the house is now used to host temporary art galleries in an attempt to mix the old with the new with mixed results in my opinion

    Marvellously reconstructed in the 1970s
    Fortunately plans and photographs from its initial construction were available for its faithful rebuilding in the 1970s. Finished around the start of the 20th century for a wealthy merchant, it subsequently fell into decay and was demolished in the 1930s. Today it’s a gorgeous exemplar of the National Revival style. Quite expansive it has delightful elegant rooms, comfortably furnished. Numerous works of art are spread throughout, with the splendid backdrop of the gorgeous home.
