The House-Monument of the Bulgarian Communist Party (or informally, the Buzludzha Monument) was built on the peak by the Bulgarian communist regime. The building exemplifies the brutalist architectural style common to many state constructed communist buildings. No longer maintained by the Bulgarian government after 1989 however, it has since fallen into disuse. Currently the monument stands abandoned and vandalised. The roof of the building is heavily damaged, and due to the danger of collapsing metal tiles the main entrance of the building has been closed to the public. Buzludzha can be reached by two side roads from the Shipka Pass:[6] either a 16 km (10 mi) road from Kazanlak in the south, or a 12 km (7 mi) road from Gabrovo on the north side of the mountain.
