The architectural and ethnographic museum "Vaselov" was established in 1976 on the territory of the former manor house, founded at the end of the XVIII century by the serving nobles of Lviv. A two-storey wing (a rebuilt greenhouse) and a unique hydraulic engineering system have survived from the estate. The architect N.A. Lvov (1753-1803), a distant relative of the owners of the estate, was the creator of the architectural and park complex. His idea is a cascading system of ponds, as well as a magnificent "stone symphony" – a hundred–meter arched bridge with two grottoes - aviaries. The huge territory of the museum-reserve with a complex relief, cut by small parallel flowing rivers with a dam, boulder and wooden bridges.
