Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to map the history, development, and present state of the Czech colony named Gorna Oryahovitsa and to place the particular case of this community’s sugar factory within the broader context of Czech migration to Bulgaria. Specifically, it summarizes certain findings from field research in Bulgaria (2016). These are supplemented by information from archive materials and literature. The field research was mainly focused on establishing contacts and interviewing local residents, seeking and collecting archive materials, and mapping and documenting this locality.
