wow…astounding. I want to know more…who lived there…how long people lived there…how long it’s been empty…are those stairs sloping…it’s incredible!
I don’t think it’s medieval, but it is lovely nevertheless.
That’s gorgeous. But medieval? Really? I don’t know anything about medieval Russian architecture but that looks very 19th C to me.
Doesn’t look medieval to me either.
Perhaps a building has been there since medieval times or maybe the foundations are medieval?
But what we see doesn’t look older then a century, maybe 2.
It is more then lovely though.
I agree that it doesn’t look like a medieval building.
Still, it looks amazing. I’d love to have a good ol’ nosey around it.
Can you tell me WHERE in Russia this is? Thanks!!
Beautiful but kind of sad. I wonder why it was abandoned.
Really wanderful and precious, but… definitely NOT medieval!
Maybe built between 1850 and 1900.
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!
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.
Beautiful… I can hear the strains of Lara Theme just by looking at these pics…. and with the help of youtube - go on give it a try..
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.
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.
