If we have left the Kremlin through Demetrios gates, we would see on the left on mountain the open-air Wooden architecture museum. It is situated on the right bank of the river Kamenka.
The Suzdal's oldest Monastery , the Monastery of Saint Demetrios, built at the end of the eleventh century, originally stood on this spot.
A small tent-shaped wooden Church remained standing on this spot right up to the seventeenth century, when the Metropolitan Illarion had it replaced by a new wooden Church which was "most large, tall and splendid, encircled on two sides by Church porches and adorned most fair inside". This interesting building must have stood out well in the general panorama of the town during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The open-air Wooden architecture museum now consist a lot of interesting building, which was transferred here from other Vladimir region areas. There are: the Transfiguration Church from Kolchyugino area village of Kozlyatievo (built in 1756), the Resurrection Church from Kameshky area village of Patakyno (built in 1776), two windmills from Sudogda area village of Moshok (built in 18 century), the draw-well from Selivanovo area village of Koltsovo (built in 19 century), the Volkov's family house from Melenky area village of Ilkino (built in 19 century), the Koozovkyn's family house from Vyazniky area village of Log (built in 1861).
