19th Century Village

19th-century huts removed from the Vologda Region. They were found in remote villages, dismantled into logs and numbered, transported, and precisely reassembled in a new location, specially selected far from the hustle and bustle of humanity. In hidden corners of Russia, project participants annually search for forgotten cultural and historical treasures. Authentic peasant houses are carefully restored and lovingly filled with household items.

Currently, the village has eight 19th-century huts, each housing several craft workshops.
