== History == thumb|left|The church of Voynyagovo According to folk tradition, the founder of the village was the boyar Voyneg, who united the huts scattered along Sredna Gora in a village. The village in the time of the Second Bulgarian Empire had the status of a military settlement. By 1829 part of the population of Voynyagovo emigrated with the Russian troops of Gen. Dibic-Zabalkanski during their withdrawal in Bessarabia, in the villages of Kamber and Baskoy (now Romania). Revolutionary and national hero Vasil Levski was a teacher in the village, and a Vasil Levski Culture Centre was established in 1900.
