Shemshevo village is located on the left bank of the Yantra River about four kilometers west of the town of Veliko Tarnovo.

Its land features diverse terrain with varying altitudes - from 130 m for the low lowlands to 210 meters in the southern part of the village.

The village's peaceful and quiet atmosphere, plenty of fresh air and many places for walking in the mountains or along the river make it suitable for raising children.

The archaeological materials show that a settlement has existed since the end of the twelfth and early thirteenth century during the Second Bulgarian Empire.

The village is home to many prominent artists like the sculptor Angel Angelov and the painter Stancho Ganev who has his own art gallery here.
