Hi, dear Steemians!
Today I want to show you several ancient wooden churches from the museum Kostromskaya Sloboda. It's located in Prosvesheniya street 1B, Kostroma.
It's one of the oldest open-air museums in Russia which includes real masterpieces of wooden architecture.
It's the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was built in 1552.
It's The Church Of All-Merciful Saviour (1712)
Let's look inside the church.
And there's a lonely bell in the corner.

It's very difficult to describe such places and buildings. Everything was written in Wiki. But photos can show the atmosphere or the place. We can imagine life of simple people in the past. The life in the village was hard those days. Even the fronts of the churches reflect it. If churches in big cities were made of stone and decorated richly, the churches in the village were simpler and poorer. But inside you fell peace and quite. Such a church gives a feeling of home and safety.
It's the Church Of Ilya The Prophet
I like its dome. Colours of church domes have special meanings. For example, green simbolizes the color of the Holy spirit.
It's very comfortable that there are signs with information in both languages (Russian and English) in frot of the buildings.
The entrance fee is about 100 rubles. Also, you should pay extra 100 rubles for taking photos.
Also, you can see old houses and " Fairy tale park" with famous characters in the museum.
It's famous Baba Yaga (Баба (means "old lady), Яга (Yaga is her name).
The photos were taken with Samsung WB5500
