Livejournal entry by the photographer, Andrew Qzmn, where the outside photos were originally posted: http://qzmn.livejournal.com/6780.html#cutid1

(The indoor photos appear to be from elsewhere; in that entry you can see what the inside of these houses really looks like.)

@Jane, they’re in Kostroma Oblast, near the city of Kostroma, which is on the Volga River a bit to the northeast of Moscow.

Not at all “medieval,” but a great deal of Italian Renaissance influence can be seen on part of the facade, and with the head of that darling staircase, & in the last picture.

I think the photographer/retronaut dude meant to say that in the mid-19th century there was a *revival* of medieval architecture. Though I’d be far more inclined to see this as Gothic Revival style architecture.

Regardless, I’d die of happiness if I could get my hands on that farm table next to the red hutch.

There are at least two houses shown there, the very first image is a different one as the other external views are all surrounded by trees.

But fabulous photography!
