Sokolski Monastery
Uspenie Bogorodichno
(Assumption of the Virgin)

Sokolski Monastery is located 4 km away from the Etar and 12 km away in the south-east direction from the centre of Gabrovo. It was established in 1833 and named after its founder Yosif Sokolski. The monastery has a big yard surrounded by residential and utility buildings. In the centre of the yard, in 1865 the master Kolyu Ficheto constructed a big stone fountain with eight taps. The whole monastery was built during the Bulgarian National Revival with the strong support of the people of Gabrovo and the local villages.
