The building, constructed by Polish architects, was finished in 1801. It was used by four separate units,[1] also by a unit of the Janissaries.
After liberation the building was used as court of law and as an accommodation building by the Bulgarian army.[2] Today it houses the ethnographical section of the "Konaka" Museum.
