Wooden church
Located on the banks of Lake Myachino and the Volkhov River, at St.
George Monastery there is an open-air museum of wooden architecture
"Vitoslavlisty." This is one of the most picturesque places in the
Novgorod region. Izbas (village houses), chapels and churches form
streets like those in old Russian villages. Restorers managed to
preserve the unique works of Novgorodian carpenters.
A fragment of an izba
The buildings on display are so magnificent that they need no
introduction. To get to know how Russian people lived many years
ago, one must visit any of the izbas. Vitoslavlitsy is famed for
folk and trade festivals, Christmas fortune-telling and the
International Bell Ringing Festival is annually held there.
Folk festival
The museum is open from 10.00 till 17.00. Transportation: Bus
No. 7, 7A (from the Central Railway Station or Tourist information
centre on Sennaya Square). Access to the museum is paid.
