Khokhlovka (Хохловка) | Russia (Россия) | Perm

Museum-reserve of wooden architecture, located on the high cape of the Kama River. The location for the open-air museum is well chosen. The buildings harmoniously fit into the surrounding nature, the landscapes are very picturesque!

The decision to establish the museum was made by the Perm Regional Executive Committee back in April 1969. Perm architect Alexander Terekhin was the initiator.

The Scientific and Restoration Production Department from various points of the Kama region transported and restored monuments of wooden architecture of the late 17th — early 20th centuries to Khokhlovka. This made it possible to preserve the dilapidated, old buildings that fell into disrepair.

Khokhlovka village 

It is worth telling a little about the village itself, on the outskirts of which the museum arose. The village arose on the banks of the Khokhlovka River, which flows into the Kama here. After the construction of the Kama reservoir, the Khokhlovsky Bay arose. In 1754, the Khokhlovsky copper smelter was founded here, put into operation in 1756. The founders and first owners of the plant were Maria Artemyevna Stroganova, A.A. Golitsyn (Stroganov) and V.A. Shakhovskaya (Stroganov). Since 1757, the plant belonged to M.A. Stroganova, from 1784 — I.L. Lazarev, from 1801 — E.A. Lazarev, from 1871 — E.Kh. Abamelek-Lazarev.

In the past, Khokhlovka was the center of the Khokhlovsky volost of the Okhansk district and the Khokhlovsky village council. In 1973 he was transferred to Skobelevka. 

 According to the 2010 census, only 12 people live here permanently. It is known that in 1926 the population reached 233 people. In summer, the village comes alive thanks to the numerous summer residents.
