The Kakrina Inn

The Kakrina Inn is a reconstructed building in the village of Kakrina that displays a tavern room and sleeping quarters. The structure gives visitors a sense of how rural life and hospitality functioned in this region during the 1800s.

The site marks where a Bulgarian nationalist was captured by Ottoman forces in the late 1800s. This moment became a turning point in the nation's struggle for freedom and independence.

The inn holds deep meaning for Bulgarians as the site where a national hero made his final stand against occupation. Visitors today can sense the weight of this moment in the preserved rooms and surroundings.

The museum is open throughout the year with adjusted hours depending on the season. Guided tours are offered to help visitors understand the rooms and their historical significance.

An ancient elm tree in the courtyard witnessed the capture and still stands today. The tree connects past events to the present, serving as a living link to what happened here.
