Kordopulov House
Кордопулова къща
The largest National Revival-era residence in Bulgaria, completed in 1754. Its stained-glass living room is exquisite, and a huge cellar carved into the mountain offers wine tasting.
The Kordopulov House was built in 1754 by the Kordopulos family, Greek-origin wine merchants. It is one of the largest residences from Bulgaria's National Revival period. The four-storey building leans against a sandstone cliff. Its main living room features Venetian stained-glass windows, carved wooden ceilings and Eastern-style murals, along with a hidden chamber. The highlight is a labyrinthine cellar stretching about 180 metres into the mountain, capable of holding hundreds of tonnes of wine. After the visit, you can taste Broad-leaf Melnik red wine. The house is at the foot of the hill at the east end of town. Admission is 5 leva, and it is open from about 09:00 to 18:00.
