Architectural and Ethnographic Museum, whose decorative decoration is declared a monument of culture of national importance. Emblematic of the greatness, economic prosperity and spiritual strive of Bansko' population during the Renaissance age. Banska fortified house, built of stone and wood, with a ground floor, which includes a cellar and two interconnected shelters. The building is particularly impressive with its decoration - frescoes and wood-carved ceilings, which are made by Usta (master) Velyan Ognev (representative of the Debar Art School). He arrived in the town of Bansko to work on the "St. Trinity" church' decoration and in 1835 local people gave him this house in gratitude. The master painted it inside and outside, making it a true work of art. A great value is the mural decoration of the Blue Room, the unique veranda' woodcarving, the geometric and plant motifs in the south-eastern room of the southern façade. The house was adapted for museum purposes in 1977. A comfortable alley provides access for disabled people to the second floor.
