Of great interest are churches and industrial facilities dedicated to the extraction of salt. The construction of wooden churches was carried out in the traditions of folk Russian architecture.

Section 4. History of creation

The idea of creating a museum complex under the open sky belonged to the well-known architect A. S. Terekhin. It was this man who chose the place on which the museum is located (Khokhlovka). Perm Territory, thanks to a special climate, is suitable for this kind of facilities. There are no prolonged downpours and especially severe frosts, which means that the tree will be preserved in almost ideal conditions and will not require additional repairs for a long time.

The decision to open was made in April 1969. All the works were carried out by Perm specialized scientific and restoration workshops. The opening of the architectural and ethnographic museum took place in September 1980.

Section 5. One of the main objects of the village of Khokhlovka (Perm region): a complex of salt preparation

The history of the Kama region is closely connected with salt production. The first harvest of salt began in the early XV century. Solikamsk, Pyskor, Dedyukhin and Usolye became major trade centers.

The architectural ensemble dedicated to this fishery is housed in a museum on the banks of the Kama River. All industrial facilities were brought from the factory of the city of Solikamsk. The founder of the saltworks was the industrialist AV Ryazantsev, who established the plant in 1882. However, the old saltworks closed in 1972.

To date, visitors to the complex can get acquainted with the technology of obtaining salt. To pump this brine from the ground, a well was drilled. This usually took up to 5 years. After that, a pine pipe was placed in the hole, the matt, on which brine was raised with brine. Pumps appeared only in the XVII century.

Section 6. Churches: Transfiguration and the Theotokos

"Orthodox monuments of the village of Khokhlovka. Perm Region "- a photo with this name is found, perhaps, from every second tourist who has already visited the area. What is so unusual about this?

From the east and west the temple has two prirubs - an altar and a refectory. In the XIX century, the building was used to store furs.

The inner part of the temple consists of a portal leading from the gallery to the refectory. Inside there are carved shoals and altar overlapping. The ceilings are built of massive plasters, near the walls there are benches.

The Church of Our Lady of the end of the XVII century was brought in the early 80-ies of the XX century from. Tokhtarevo of the Suksu district. By the type of construction the church refers to the cage temples. The two-storey building consists of an altar, a refectory and a porch. A barrel with a dome covers the altar. The domes of the central part and the altar, as well as the barrel are covered with a ploughshare. In the past, the temple was part of the complex, which included a church and a bell tower.

The basement of the temple with a height of 3 m was used for storing grain, church gifts, etc. The interior of the church has a modest appearance - benches and a platform for worship.

Section 7. The Bell Tower and the Watchtower

The bell tower of 1781 belongs to the tent type of structures. This is the only monument of this kind, preserved in the Perm region.

The watchtower, built in the XVII century, was brought from the village. Trade of the Suksu district. It was the first museum object that appeared on the territory of Khokhlovka. Previously, the structure stood near the Siberian road on the river Sylva and was part of the Torgovishchensky Island, surrounded by a moat and a palisade with towers. During the fire in 1899, the building burned down, and was restored by the peasants in 1905.

Hunting was one of the sources of existence of northern peoples. Buildings of this kind were divided into several types: for storage ("chamya") and for housing ("puffy"). Labaz installed on the trunk. To protect against rodents, the lower part of the trunk was cut. Inside the log house there is a stove-heater, poles for hides and clothes, wall hooks and pokes.
