Etar Architectural-Ethnographic Complex

The Etar Architectural-Ethnographic Complex (Bulgarian: Етнографски музей на открито „Етър“, usually referred to as Етъра, Etara) is an open-air museum near Gabrovo in northern Bulgaria.

It spans over an area of 7 ha and contains a total of 50 objects, including water installations and houses with craftsmen's workshops attached.

As a whole, the complex's goal is to illustrate the architecture, way of life and economy of Gabrovo and the region during the Bulgarian National Revival.

[3] The pre-existing Karadzheyka water mill, built around 1780, was thoroughly reconstructed, with the other objects being constructed later.

The complex was opened on 7 September 1964 and proclaimed a national park in 1967, as well as a monument of culture in 1971.
