Voynyagovo (Bulgarian: Войнягово) is a village in central southern Bulgaria, part of Karlovo Municipality, Plovdiv Province. As of 2008, it has a population of 1,260. The village lies in the Sredna Gora mountains, 318 metres (1,043 ft) above sea level.

History

Legend has it that the founder of the village was the boyar Voyneg, who gathered the huts scattered along Sredna Gora in a village. The village in the time of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom had the status of a military settlement. By 1829 part of the population of Voynyagovo emigrated with the Russian troops of Gen. Dibic-Zabalkanski during their withdrawal in Bessarabia, in the villages of Kamber and Baskoy (now Romania). Revolutionary and national hero Vasil Levski was a teacher in the village, and a Vasil Levski Culture Centre was established in 1900.

Religion

There is a Church of Saint Dimitar, an Orthodox church, in the village.
