Tryavna is a town in central Bulgaria, located near Gabrovo. It is famous for its textile industry and typical National Revival craftsmanship and architecture, featuring 140 cultural monuments, museums and expositions.

Especially interesting is Daskalov’s house. Built between 1804 and 1808 by master builder Dimitar Oshanetsa and his assistant Ivan Bochukovetsa, the house typifies an early National Revival building in Tryavna. In 1808 both men made wager and contended for the mastery of the ceilings which took them 6 months to carve. Even today the sun motifs remain an unrivaled eminence of wood-carving craftsmanship. The house holds the one and only in this country museum of wood-carving, as well as wood-carvings and wood sculptures of Bulgarian khans and tsars, bas-reliefs of outstanding figures from the National Revival period - all these being the handiwork of Gencho Marangoza, a distinct master wood-carver.
