Exhibition of the museum complex "Chambers at the Falcon Tower"

About exhibition

The Chambers at the Falcon Tower (the Ksendz House) are a small two-storey chambered building with a stone attached porch and a tented roof on the northern courtyard façade. The exact date of the house's construction is unknown; its history began in the mid-17th century. On 5 August 2022 the Chambers at the Falcon Tower opened their doors to the first visitors after restoration carried out as part of the Russian Federation Ministry of Culture and World Bank project "Preservation and Use of Cultural Heritage in Russia." The museum complex currently features an exhibition of blacksmithing works by the famous Pskov architect, blacksmith and artist Vsevolod Petrovich Smirnov, "Vsevolod's Light", as well as the exhibition space "Who's the Master of the House", whose collection is devoted to the everyday life of the Russian peasant izba of the 19th–20th centuries. In the courtyard of the museum complex there is an exhibition of blacksmithing machinery by the ethnographic association "Pskov Blacksmith's Yard".
