Debelyanov House, Literary museum in Koprivshtitsa, Bulgaria.

Debelyanov House is a literary museum in Koprivshtitsa that showcases the living spaces of an important Bulgarian poet. The building features blue-painted walls, stone construction, and a wide verandah that served as a gathering space.

The house was built in 1830 by Dincho Debelyan, the poet's grandfather, and by the mid-20th century it stood derelict. Architect Velyo Debelyanov transferred ownership and drew up restoration plans; the house was rebuilt in 1957 by government decision and opened as a museum the following year with an exhibition of photographs and documents. The poet's sister, Maria Debelyanova-Grigorova, donated personal belongings and supplied memories for the display.

The house museum hosts the annual "Debelyanov Evenings" in August, with readings and concerts and the Dimcho Debelyanov National Literary Award, given every two years since 2015. Visitors can hear the poet's verses recorded by Bulgarian actors in Bulgarian, Russian, English, German and French. The museum also initiated a medal for the national student competition named after the poet, designed by Pavel Koychev and cast at the Mint.

The museum is located on Dimcho Debelyanov Street and opens Tuesday through Sunday. Visitors should expect narrow stairways and low doorways, as it is a traditional 19th century residence.

In the yard stands the original sculpture "Mother" by Professor Ivan Lazarov, moved here in 1967 from the cemetery of the Church of the Dormition. The museum opened in 1958 with a ceremony in the courtyard, after which wreaths were dropped from a passing plane; one landed exactly on the poet's monument.
