The Nunnery in Sopot was rebuilt after the Liberation and today it is a complex that consists of basilica church built in XV century, residential and commercial buildings. The cell in which Hadji Revoama and Rada Gospozhina, both immortalized in the novel "Under the Yoke", lived, is also preserved.

The Nunnery is located only 150 meters north of downtown. In the XV century on the site of the small church "St. Blessed Virgin" there was a chapel. Around 1665 next the chapel had been erected the residential buildings. That was the beginning of the monastery itself.

The Sopot Convent participated actively in the national struggles of the Bulgarian people. Here with the help of Abbess Hristina had been hiding Vasil Levski during the period 1869-1872.

In Sopot Convent skriptoriy existed for copying books and church-painting for the nuns. It was active until the middle of the XX century.

In 1877 the monastery was burned by the Turks, and the Abbess Hristina was brutally murdered. The church, the fountain, part of the cells and cranny of Vasil Levski survived. The vine in the courtyard is more than 350 years old and is considered one of the oldest in Bulgaria and Europe.

The church is interesting for its architecture - half buried in the ground, it recalled another strikingly unique church - in Dobarsko village. The building of the monastery church is conservative and doesn’t look like a church from outside – there even is no overt external apse. You can enter the church through a small porch with six steps. The icons are old – there is visible inscription and the year "1823" on patronal icon. Rarity is the apostolic order, which isn’t composed of individual icons and is fully painted on a piece of wood.

Interesting is also the preserved building with the balconies from the XVIII century, which miraculously survived along with the church in the burning of Sopot in 1877.

Next to the monastery is the parish church "St. St. Peter and Paul", which impresses with both its size and its original facade. It was built in 1846 by master Nikola Troyanov. It was burned in 1877 and two years later restored to its original appearance. It is this church, which Ivan Vazov described in his work "Under the Yoke" and "Uncles".
