The Sokolovo Monastery is situated along the northern slopes of the Stara Planina Mountains. In 1833 Yosif Sokolski together with the hierarch-monk Agapii restored this ancient monastery. The monastery's complex is spread at two different levels separated from one another. The builder of the monastery skillfully uses the terrain characteristics and builds the monastery's church at the lower platform, surrounded to the east, south and west by steep rocks. At the entrance of the western wall there is a memorial inscription telling that the temple has been decorated in October 1862 by the painters priest Pavel Zograf and his son Nikola from the town of Shipka. The painting style of the priest and his son is rather primitive with bright, clear colours with diversions from setting and compositional rules. There are interesting icons on the iconostasis and next to it. These icons tell that famous Revival period artists have come to work in the monastery during XIX c.

The housing and farming buildings are located on the upper platform. They are built in a Revival period style with bay-windows, wooden verandahs and staircases. They encompass the big monastery's yard in the middle of which there is a beautiful fountain, built by Kolyo Ficheto. During the Revival Period the Sokolovo Monastery has a huge educational activity. With the efforts of the abbot of the monastery a school is established where the children from the adjacent villages study. Today almost all the housing buildings of the Sokolovo monastery have been restored, representing the Revival Period outlook of the monastery.
