Sector «Petrozavodsk»

Several pieces of architecture belonging to the Kizhi museum are situated in the historic quarter of Petrozavodsk.

Petrozavodsk is one of the few cities where historic dwelling houses of XIX century, one of the most interesting periods of history, — have preserved up till now.

The regular layout of Petrozavodsk created by Peter the First was completed in early XX century. Therefore wooden urban houses of XIX — early XX centuries not only mirror the historically established townspeople’s housing and living conditions, but also represent certain principles of architectural formation of these conditions during the period under review.

The historic quarter represents the particular designs of that time considering the historical context. The quarter is located in a beauty spot on the territory of the Suburb (“Slobodka”), facing Onega Lake and one of the main streets of the city — Yeremeyev street.

One of the monument houses, the house of Kuchevsky, is now the administration building of the Kizhi museum.

• Бывшая часовня губернской земской больницы
• The house of Lazarev
• Дом лесничего Кучевского
