Medkovets

Medkovets (Bulgarian: Медковец, pronounced [mɛtˈkɔvɛt͡s]; also transliterated Medkovec or Medkovetz) is a village in northwestern Bulgaria, part of Montana Province.

It is the administrative centre of the homonymous Medkovets Municipality, which lies in the northern part of Montana Province.

The area around Medkovets has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as proven using archaeological evidence.

The village itself was founded no later than the first half of the 18th century, with the name being derived from the word med ("honey") according to popular etymology.

The Church of Saint Paraskeva was built in 1859, with the iconostasis carved by the Bulgarian masters Filipovi from the region of Debar, Vardar Macedonia.
