"Vitoslavlitsy" - The Museum of Russian Wooden Architecture
The Museum of Wooden Architecture in Novgorod, Russia, is a
collection of some of the old Russian churches and houses, constructed from wood
and built between 16th and 19th century. These
structures have been brought from many locations, restored and relocated in the
museum known as "Vitoslavlitsy" - named after an old village which once existed
at the location around 12th century.
The open air museum with an area of 33.4 hectares was established in May 1967
and showcases some of amazing wooden buildings of Russia and till date has a
collection of 26 buildings out of which there are seven churches, three chapels and
several urban/rural cottages. Besides the wooden structures the museum has also
preserved the household items and features found in the cottages of the rural
farmers.
