Moskvina house, Suzdal

The Moskvina House features a steep tiled roof, carved window frames, and a two-story stone structure reflecting traditional Russian residential architecture.

Built in the late 17th century, this stone dwelling represented significant wealth during a time when most buildings in Suzdal were constructed from wood.

The interior recreates the living space of an 18th-century Suzdal merchant, with traditional furnishings including built-in benches and carved wooden tables.

The house contains separate living areas, including a lower hall with a Russian stove, storage rooms, and an upper chamber that served as the owner's office.

This structure stands as the only preserved stone residential building in Suzdal and remains one of the rare examples of civilian stone architecture in Russia.
