The village of Koprivlen is located in South-West Bulgaria. It is part of Hadjidimovo Municipality, Blagoevgrad District. It is settled at the foot of the east slopes of Pirin, at the distance of 8 km. from town of Gotse Delchev. To the northeast, the village borders with Mesta river and to the southeast with the village of Sadovo and the town of Hadjidimovo. According to history the old inhabitants of Koprivlen were from different Thracian tribes. During the next centuries – V th century A.D. - the Slavs and the proto – Bulgarians settled here. The origin of the name of the village is Slavonic - "Koprivlene". This name is preserved till nowadays. The Macedonian refugees came here and brought their own way of live, culture and religious believing. Later, at the end of the 20 c of the XX th century the population of the Koprivlen village became only Christian . The Christians wanted their own church and school. For that reason in 1921 one of the Turk’s cafe rooms was adjusted as a school and the other one as a prayer room. In 1926 there was erected a temple.
