Vitoslavlitsy Museum of Folk Wooden Architecture, Velikiy Novgorod

Vitoslavlitsy is a haven to the people tired of modern urban architecture with massive skyscrapers, business centers and shopping malls. Visiting this place is like reading a wonderful pastoral written by a great poet. The scenery here is so serene that you forget about all the troubles and just enjoy the stunning view of pristine Russian village. It is a window to the past which demonstrates what nice buildings the locals were able to create from simple wood. Beautiful wooden buildings from all over the region were collected and brought to the Vitoslavlitsy Museum for careful restoration, so that visitors could learn more about the history and the way of life of common countryfolk in old Russia.
