Abstract
The history of Castanea sativa Mill. (sweet chestnut) cultivation has been described on the basis of the available documentation. We have tried to identify the roles of the Greek and Roman civilizations in the dissemination of chestnut cultivation. This paper gives a short overview on the history and present situation of the chestnut cultivation in Bulgaria: presumed quaternary refugia, origin of the chestnut cultivation, driving factors of its diffusion. An attempt is made to describe the actual state of chestnut stands in the two significant regions in Bulgaria, the causes of the decline and future perspective of the European chestnut culture.
