The Gabrovo-Sokolski monastery is situated
high among the northern slopes of Stara
Planina mountain. It was established in 1833 by
archimandrite Joseph. He cam here from the
Troyan monastery together with the priest-
monk Agapius. Next to the entrance of the
nearby cave, they built a small wooden church.
In 1834, on the same spot, with the support of
the people from the villages in the region, they
built a big temple – a remarkable monument of
Bulgarian architecture from the National Revival
period. In the middle of the vast monastery
yard, filled with flowers and greenery, there is a
white-stone fountain with seven spouts. It was
built in 1868 by the famous Bulgarian master
Kolyu Fitcheto. | |||
