Kordopulov House, Bulgarian Revival museum in Melnik, Bulgaria
The Kordopulov House rises as a four-story whitewashed and wooden structure featuring floral stained-glass windows and Oriental-style fireplaces at the eastern end of Melnik.
Built in 1754 by the wealthy merchant Manolis Kordopulos, this mansion served as both a residence and a wine production facility for a family trading across Europe.
The mansion's grand parlor displays twelve upper and lower windows combining Venetian and Bulgarian Revival styles, with a ceiling depicting the sun and twelve geometric patterns.
The museum operates from April through September between 9:30 AM and 6:30 PM, while winter hours run from October through March between 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM.
The underground wine cellar extends through 180 meters of tunnels carved into rock, maintaining a natural temperature of 7-9 degrees Celsius for storing 300 tons of wine.
