Some traditional buildings from the area Zaonezhiye and other
parts of Karelia are moved to a place north of the churches, among them peasant houses,
barns, granaries, a windmill, a water mill and a chapel. The houses are set up together to
form natural complexes of peasant homesteads or parts of villages.
One of the oldest wooden churches in Russia - the Church of the
Lasarus Resurrection (16th century) originally erected in the Murom Monastery - is also moved
here.
