Tomsk Fairytale Wooden Lace Architecture

Tomsk Wooden Lace Architecture

I will always stay way too biased about my Siberian hometown Tomsk, because I just love it too much! But when it comes to wooden architecture  - Tomsk should undoubtedly become world famous for it! And I will certainly make all the effort to bring this clearly upcoming glory closer. :)


Tomsk, one of the oldest towns in Siberia, recently celebrated its 400 years anniversary.  Its unique wooden architecture with intricate lace “gingerbread” decorations dates back to 18th, 19th centuries and is considered worldwide as an exceptional heritage of art.


The fairytale carvings and houses make the town seem dreamy and aerial – just touch the bubble and it will disappear.  Yet, it is real, beautiful and adored by so many. I truly believe people who built and carved those wooden masterpieces must have had hearts of gold. Such delicate vibrant fairy tale architecture carries the footprint of its creators’ kindhearted nature. But enough of my ramblings – see for yourselves!
