Attractions of Kubei

The Folk Museum of Bessarabian Culture "Stara Kishta" (from Bulgarian - "Old House") was created in the village of Kubei in 2018 in the old house of the Bulgarian Raynov family, who moved to Kubei at the beginning of the 20th century.

The founders of the museum managed to preserve the house, which is more than a hundred years old, in its original form and recreate the atmosphere and everyday life of a traditional Bulgarian house of those times. Over the years, the museum has been filled with ancient authentic household items and crafts - from unique devices for removing shoes, traditional tables at which the whole family gathered, to beds, pillows, icons and embroidered blankets, shirts, dresses and runners.

The "Stara Kashta" museum regularly hosts various master classes in folk crafts, restores and demonstrates ancient national Bulgarian rituals, holds meetings, photo shoots in authentic costumes, tastings of national cuisine, performances by folk groups, etc.

"Stara Kashta" is a place where you can experience the authentic Budzhak and Bessarabian culture, life and traditions of the peoples living in southern Ukraine.
