One of the symbols of the town of Elena is the class school Daskalolivnitsa. The building of the school is one of the first civil construction in Elena. It was built in 1844 for the needs of the first bulgarian class school. It was founded by Ivan Nikolov Momchilov in 1843. The poet Petko R. Slaveykov, who was a former student of this school, gave it the name Daskalolivnitsa. In translation the name means: daskal – teacher and livnitsa – moulder (teacher-moulder). The building is restored and now inside it there are the exposition Elena in the time of the Renaissance 18th-19th century and the exhibition Christian art – second half of the 19th century.
