Holy Trinity church Bansko

The impressive Holy Trinity Church is located in the central part of Bansko. It is considered that the temple is the biggest one in Pirin Area due to the enormous size of the building. Before the temple ‘St.Alexander Nevski’ has been constructed in Sofia city, the church ‘’Holy Trinity’ had been the biggest one in Bulgaria. The exquisite decoration of the church includes unique murals and a fretwork, made by Usta Velyan Ognev. Icons were created by Dimitur Molerov, a prominent icon painter. The temple was constructed in 1835.

In the courtyard you will find 30m high bell tower with a functioning clock, measuring the exact time for more than 150 years. The clock was created by the self – taught Usta (Master) Todor Hadjiradonov. The construction of the belfry and the clockwork are a significant technical achievement for the respective period. The constructive work and all details are obvious that high technical precision was applied. This is why the church ‘Holy Trinity’ with the belfry is an architectural monument of national importance. Since the temple was constructed during the Ottoman Yoke, it was established as the most significant spiritual and cultural center of Bansko. The church is closely connected with the names of patriots – priests, bookmen, educators and national revolutionaries. The independence of Bansko was proclaimed namely in the “Holy Trinity” church in 1912.
