Ethnographic Complex "Kulata"
Ethnographic Complex "Kulata"
The calm atmosphere of the old Kazanlak houses can be felt in the “Kulata” Ethnographic Complex. The beautiful white church at the northern end of the small square and the neatly arranged houses and small shops around it give an old-time coziness to this revival part of the city. Even today, the hospitable hosts of the complex will welcome you with a cup of pink liqueur and pink jam in the courtyard and tell you about the past and present of Kazanlak.
Now a museum, once known as the “Hadjien’s House”, now an ethnographic complex, it belonged to wealthy rose growers.

As soon as they enter, visitors will see the “gulpana” (primitive rose garden) located next to the shed and a unique collection of agricultural tools and implements. The house is located in the middle of a garden of trees, boxwoods and tulips. Architecturally, it is asymmetrical, two-story. The first level is work rooms and the basement, and the second floor has a large open veranda with a kiosk and 3 rooms – a kitchen, a bedroom and a living room. The country house is hidden in the neighboring yard amidst a flower garden. It has two rooms – a living room and a kitchen and impresses with its practicality and modesty.
Through the small windows, the light illuminates the colorful dishes on the shelves, the patterned rugs and cushions.
Next door, an old shop offers products of the oil-bearing rose and creations of artisan art, and across from it are the masters – luthiers, as well as the coppersmith’s workshop.
In the ethnographic complex, many rituals from local and traditional holidays can be seen by prior request.
