Museum of Wooden Architecture
About Museum of Wooden Architecture
Across Kamenka river, not far from the Kremlin there's a museum of Russian wooden architecture and the peasant's mode of life. Wooden churches, peasant's houses (izbas), mills, a barn, a well from all over Vladimir region's villages were brought here in the 1960s. Perhaps, if you want to see village architecture, you can go to any village, but if you don't have enough time, or want to see some really unique things, like wooden churches and mills (that it'll be hard to find in the nowadays villages), this museum will be really interesting.
For example, there's a richly decorated, poly-tier Preobrazhenskaya church, which was built in 1756, a typical Russian village church.
Next to the church there are typical wooden houses, mostly built in the 19th century. you can get inside to see the interiors (opened from May to October).
The mills and barns date back to the 18-19th centuries.
Every year, in June, there's a feast of traditional crafts in the museum, with exhibitions of peasant's tools (for pottery, for weaving) and handcrafts.
