The Agushevi Konatsi

The largest private fortified residence in the Balkans, built for Salih Agush Aga and his three sons.

Three Bulgarian master builders are said to have raised it. Agush Aga was wealthy — twelve to fifteen thousand sheep, and dairies down on the Aegean coast.

The building marries local craft with ideas he brought back from travelling east. It has indoor baths and lavatories, unusual for its time.
