The Vaselov Architectural and Ethnographic Museum was established in 1976 on the territory of the former manor house, founded at the end of the XVIII century by the Lviv noblemen. 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 estate's owners, was the creator of the architectural and park complex. His idea is a cascading pond system, as well as a magnificent "stone symphony" – a hundred-meter arch bridge with two grotto aviaries. The vast territory of the museum-reserve has a complex relief, cut by small parallel-flowing streams with a dam, boulder and wooden bridges.
