| Due to its geographical location, Pechory district (bordering on Latvia and Estonia) in Pskov region is a mixture of different ethnic groups. The nonrecurring uniqueness of the area of Pechory is entwining of the Russian Orthodoxy, Estonian Lutheranism, Catholicism and the characteristic features of the Seto folk culture in the course of times. Sigova Seto Farm Museum, the subsidiary of the Izborsk Museum is located in the village of Radaja, Pechory district, in a pristine farmstead that once belonged to the Külaots family. The display provides an insight to the life-style of a Seto family of the early 20th century. Many of the objects exhibited still bear the warmth of the hands of their previous owners.Visitors can acquaint themselves with different domestic crafts like spinning or weaving, also with various farm tools, probably the most intriquing of which is a device for handling flax. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
