Talzy
The Talzy open - air museum on ancient Siberia (full name in Russian: Архитектурно – этнографический музей Тальцы ; Architectural- Ethnographic Museum Talzy ) is located halfway between Irkutsk and the small town Listvyanka , kilometers on the outflow of the Angara from Lake Listvyanka, 47 km from Lake Listvyanka.
The museum was founded by the historian V. Swinin and the Moscow architect G. Oranskaya in 1966 on a hill above the Irkutsk reservoir to collect historical monuments from the 17th to 19th centuries from the Irkutsk Oblast .
36 old buildings were rebuilt here: an Evenk camp, Buryat yurts , farmhouses, churches and part of a wooden fortress called Ostrog by the Russian conquerors of Siberia . This ostrog stood in Ilimsk from 1630, about 500 kilometers north of today's Irkutsk. Over time, this fortress with its eight towers became the regional center. The Spassky gate tower of the Ilimsk Ostrog stands today in Talzy, because Ilimsk was flooded by the Ust-Ilimsk reservoir . Next to the fortress fragment there is a chapel from the 17th century, also from Ilimsk, and a church school from the 19th century.
In addition, the museum is dedicated to the life, customs and traditions in the culture of the people of Transbaikalia - Russians, Buryats and Evenks - in the 19th and 20th centuries.
