Kamburov Inn – the town of Elena

The Kamburov Inn was built in the middle of 19th century and was named after its owner – Stoyan Kambura, who participated in the rebellion of Captain dyado Nikola (grandfather Nikola) in 1856, in the Hadjistavri’s revolt, and was a member of the Elena Revolution Committee. The inn is a monument of culture of local importance. The architecture of the Kamburov Inn is expressive, simple and laconic – a typical example of the Balkans Renaissance architecture. Broad eaves, stone masonry and economically used white coat – all these components of the architectural appearance complement one another and contribute to the impressive effect. The architecture corresponds the purpose of the building – an inn from the National Renaissance period, with implicit functions of public building. The inn was initially built in the village of Yovkovtsi, but after the construction of the Yovkovtsi dam is was taken apart in the town of Elena, in the architectural-historical complex Daskalolivnitsata. Today, there is an ethnography exposition in the inn, showing the material living and the culture of the people of the Elena district from the end of 19th and the beginning of 20th century.
