Charyshnikov House, Federal cultural heritage house in Yaroslavl, Russia
The Charyshnikov House is a residential structure with church spaces in Yaroslavl, showcasing traditional Russian architecture from the 17th century. Its facade and interior rooms display characteristic stonework and decorative details that show the craftsmanship of that period.
The house emerged after the devastating fires of the 17th century, when Yaroslavl shifted from wooden to stone construction. This transition marked an important change in how the city rebuilt and developed its buildings.
The house reveals how wealthy families in Yaroslavl wove religious spaces into their homes. Its arrangement shows the importance of faith in daily life and reflects the lifestyle of local merchants during that era.
The building is easy to reach in the city center and can be viewed well from outside. Visitors can photograph the stonework and details from different angles and compare it with neighboring buildings from the same period.
The house combines two different functions under one roof that were normally kept separate. This arrangement was unusual and shows how private living and religious practice merged within a single family home.
