The aim of the project was to study the tangible and intangible architectural and building heritage from the National Revival period in Gabrovo province.

The Ethnographic Open Air Museum Etar, The National School of Applied Arts “Trevnenska shkola” and The Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Studies with Ethnographic Museum in the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences were our partners.
