This church is called The Dormition of the Mother of God and was built (as seen below) in 1817 in the Bulgarian Revivalist Style in Koprivshtitsa, where the first rifle was fired against the Ottomans in the April Uprising in 1876. It is a very revered historical town for this reason and for its outstanding architecture.
This is the back of the church:

And finally, a view of the pied beauty that is the roof :)
Hope you like! Ciao за now :)
I can't seem to stop myself from seeing a face with a pencil mustache in the first picture.
The corner shot and the roof shot are texturally fantastic!
I would go back to Koprivshtitsa in a heartbeat!!!
That is one cool-looking church - never thought I would ever say that...
