Karavelov House

Karavelov House, Historical house museum in Koprivshtitsa, Bulgaria.

Karavelov House is a home museum in Koprivshtitsa featuring traditional Bulgarian architecture with carved wooden details and symmetrical windows across two levels. The interior displays personal objects and documents the life of a prominent family in the 19th century.

Local craftsmen built the three-house complex over 25 years. The oldest, the winter house, dates from 1810, after the last Kardzhali raid on Koprivshtitsa; the storage building followed in 1820 and the summer house with an open veranda in 1835. The museum opened on 3 February 1954 and is run by the Koprivshtitsa Museums Directorate.

The winter house holds an ethnographic display of 19th-century Koprivshtitsa life, while the summer house's two rooms were arranged as a small collection in 1935 by Nena Karavelova, wife of Hristo Karavelov, with family portraits and photographs. The printing press bought from the Serbian State Printing House in 1871 printed the first Bulgarian constitution, the Tarnovo Constitution, after the Liberation.

The museum is located in the town center and is easy to reach on foot. It is best to visit in the morning when fewer visitors are present.

The printing press that Lyuben Karavelov bought from the Serbian state printing house in 1871 stands in the winter house. Besides revolutionary newspapers printed by Karavelov and Botev, the first Bulgarian constitution, the Tarnovo Constitution, was printed on it after the Liberation.
