This wooden architectural monument is attributed to the 19th century. Just a hundred years ago, such stables were a common element of rural estates. In the Novgorod region, only two such buildings have survived to this day.

One of them now adorns the Museum of Wooden Architecture. The stable was relocated to Vitoslavlitsy from the village of Okladnevo. Interestingly, until its sale to the museum, it continued to serve its owners for its original purpose, just like it did over a hundred years ago. After restoration, it became a museum object, and a celebration was held in Vitoslavlitsy for this occasion. This is indeed a significant event, as it is not every day that one can boast of new buildings, even if they are intended for livestock.

Restorers returned the building to the appearance envisioned by Fyodor Minin, a prosperous peasant from the Borovichsky district. The structure, with an area of 45 square meters and a height of 7 meters, was built under a multi-pitched roof. The first floor served as a stable for keeping horses or other livestock, replacing the cold yard of the residential hut. Hay was stored on the second floor, and the sloped entrance made work easier by eliminating the need to manually lift feed for the animals. Now both floors have become almost museum halls, housing two exhibitions.
