Tryavna, Renaissance town in central Bulgaria

Tryavna sits at an elevation of 434 meters in the northern slopes of the Balkan range, along the Tryavna river valley near Gabrovo.

The settlement received official recognition in 1565, when residents were granted tax privileges for protecting mountain passes against brigand raids.

The Tryavna School of Art, established in the late 17th century, developed distinct styles in woodcarving, iconography, and construction until the early 1900s.

The town center contains multiple museums, including the Museum of Icon Painting and Woodcarving, which displays 160 original works by local masters.

The Daskalov House, built in 1808, features ornate wooden sun medallions carved into its ceilings by two masters competing for recognition.
