Near the village is Bachkovo Monastery built in 1083 by Grigor Bakuriani, a military in the Byzantine Empire, a Georgian by origin. The ossuary with its exquisite architecture and wall-paintings dates from that time. The winter church of the Archangels dates in all likelihood to the l2th century. In the early l6th century Bachkovo monastery was destroyed by the Turkish conquerors to be restored in the late l6th century. Of great interest are the monastery refectory (1601 ), the church of the Assumption (1604) with murals dating from 1643, and the domed church of St Nicholas (1837), decorated in 1840 by the Revival Period painter Zahari Zograph.
