Benkovski House

The Benkovski House features traditional Bulgarian architecture with a symmetrical design, wooden structures, and an open-air verandah extending into the second floor.

Built in 1831, this house belonged to revolutionary leader Georgi Benkovski, who established a local committee and led the April Uprising against Ottoman rule.

The museum exhibits personal belongings, photographs, and documents that illustrate the Bulgarian National Revival period and the liberation movement of the 19th century.

Located outside the town center, the museum welcomes visitors every day except Tuesday, from 8:00 to 12:00 and 13:30 to 17:30, with guided tours available.

The building stands as one of the selected monuments in the 100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria, representing the architectural style of wealthy merchants.
