Karavelov House

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.

The house was built in 1810 and belonged to Lyuben Karavelov, a leader in movements during Bulgaria's National Revival period. His family played a key role in shaping society during this transformative era.

The displays show manuscripts and books that reflect the literary world of 19th-century Bulgaria. You can see how intellectuals of that time spread their ideas and what role the written word played.

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 garden behind the house contains native plants and is used for traditional craft demonstrations. Visitors can experience different cultural activities depending on the season.
