You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Kordopulov (or Kordopulov's) House''' ([[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]]: Кордопулова къща, ''Kordopulova kashta'') is a large [[Bulgarian National Revival]] house in the southwestern [[Bulgaria]]n town of [[Melnik, Bulgaria|Melnik]]. It was built in 1754 specifically for wine production and was bought by the affluent merchant [[Manolis Kordopulos]]. The house, possibly the largest of its kind and period, is located in the town's eastern part and consists of a [[ground floor]] that includes a [[wine cellar]], a semi-basement for economic needs and a bay floor intended to be inhabited.((Citation needed|date=May 2022))

==Overview==
The Koropulov House was built in 1754. It belonged to Manolis Kordopulos, an affluent wine merchant who traded throughout Europe, particularly [[Paris]] and [[Venice]]. Today, it is one of the 100 national tourist sites in Bulgaria,<ref>((Cite web |title=Кордопуловата Къща - официален сайт |url=http://www.kordopulova-house.com/ |access-date=2022-05-12 |website=www.kordopulova-house.com))</ref> serving as a museum with a special area for wine-tasting.<ref name=":0">((Cite web |last=Αλαβάνου |first=Ελευθερία |title=Η Βουλγαρία που δεν ξέρουμε ((!)) Η ΚΑΘΗΜΕΡΙΝΗ |url=https://www.kathimerini.gr/k/travel/561506848/i-voylgaria-poy-den-xeroyme/ |access-date=2022-05-12 |website=www.kathimerini.gr))</ref>

The mansion is located in Melnik, the smallest town in Bulgaria. The town boasts a long history of wine. Its endemic variety [[Shiroka Melnishka Losa]], reportedly produced since antiquity, utilizes grapes with large and rough leaves and small, dark-colored berries, which are harvested in early October and ripened in oak barrels. Wines here are complex and spicy.<ref name=":0" />

Bulgarian revolutionary [[Yane Sandanski]] would use the house for shelter before [[World War I]]. The last of the Kordopulov family was killed in 1916 and the house passed to Agnesa, either a maid or a sister of a Kordopulov. She married Georgi [[Tsinstar]]a and, although they had no children, they adopted their nephew Gavrail. He is in turn the father of Nikola Paspalev, the current owner. The Kordopulov House was renovated in 1974-1980 and is currently a private museum that is visited by 30,000 tourists a year.((Citation needed|date=May 2022))

==Layout==
The largest Revival house in Bulgaria and the [[Balkans]], it consists of three levels and a basement. Outside the home lies the ruins of a family [[chapel]] dedicated to [[Saint Barbara|St. Barbara]]. The living room is about 90 square meters and is characterized by two rows of six windows. The upper row is a mixture of Venetian and Oriental style, whereas the lower row is typical of the Bulgarian Revival period. The ceiling depicts the sun as well as twelve geometric figures symbolizing the twelve [[Apostles in the New Testament|apostles]] and the twelve months of the year. A middle room was reserved for hosting small gatherings [[Vienna Philharmonic|Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra]]. One bedroom features [[Stained Glass Windows|stained glass windows]] and a ceiling with Bulgarian, Greek, Turkish, and oriental motifs. The fireplace in this room is in the form of a [[minaret]] with an [[Bulgarian Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] cross. The dining room includes a special cupboard used during deals between two people, where a third person may sit unseen; the cupboard also has access to the living room. The mansion also includes a glass-enclosed winter garden and a summer terrace with a stone [[sundial]].<ref>((Cite web |title=Кордопуловата къща |url=http://www.kordopulova-house.com/house.html |access-date=2022-05-12 |website=www.kordopulova-house.com))</ref>

The characteristic Melnik wine cellar is dug into the rock to form a tunnel. The cellar can take 300 [[ton]]s of wine, with the largest cask being able to take 12.5 tons alone. The corridors are relatively narrow and low at places and the cellar disposes of a ventilation system and special canals.

Two of the Kordopulov House's four floors are made of stone. Seven inner staircases connect the floors and [[garret]]s and the two wooden floors are covered with motley rugs.((Citation needed|date=May 2022))
