Year of Establishment -
Founder -

Built in 1835-40, the house impresses with its artistic decoration, with many well preserved original murals. The Chirpan craftsmen Moka an Mavrudi took 6 months to make the interior and exterior murals. One can see beautiful views from Constantinople, Alexandria, Venice and other cities here. The only well preserved bathroom with running hot and cold water can be seen here as well. The well fortified maaza (storage room) can be seen in the northern part of the yard.

The house has been restored in 1974 and fitted with Bulgarian Revival period furniture.
