Frolov's apartment building
Unrivaled luxury, antiques, comfort, and charm in the quiet center of Pskov, in the UNESCO protected area.
What makes our museum truly unique is that you can not only explore the exhibitions by taking one of our guided tours, not only visit our separate museums and gallery – you can actually live among historic masterpieces and artefacts by staying in the rooms of our boutique hotel, each furnished with antique pieces and luxurious modern comfort. Once you visit our house, you will understand that this bold statement is the simple truth – and not in the least exaggerated.
During construction, we did not use a single gram of plastic, plywood, MDF or any other chemical materials. Only eco‑friendly materials were used. For example, the strongest brick in the world – German Clinker M 1400, which has metal added during production – as well as three types of Belgian hand‑moulded brick, solid oak, ceramics, enamels, bronze and other metals. All interior paints, plasters, wallpapers and fillers were created in Germany specifically for the restoration of UNESCO architectural monuments. We have no Wi‑Fi – yes, the presence of Wi‑Fi in hotels and cafés is not an advantage, but a disadvantage, as it is extremely harmful to health. However, for your convenience, internet sockets are provided throughout. Bring your own laptop or computer, or if needed, we can lend you ours. And if you absolutely must, you can turn on a Wi‑Fi router in your room – but only for short periods, and it must be switched off at night. In terms of electromagnetic safety, the Frolov House is a Faraday cage. You will be completely protected from microwave and high‑frequency radiation from the outside as long as the curtains are drawn. The window curtains include a special fabric layer, produced at a military factory, which blocks microwave radiation through the windows and glass. And here is welcome news for high‑ranking officials, business executives and intelligence personnel: it is absolutely impossible to bug you inside the house.
Hundreds of antique furniture pieces from the late 16th to early 20th century are on display, along with countless art masterpieces – including personal belongings of Russian tsars, Stalin, and European emperors – paintings by famous artists, and unique mechanical musical instruments such as orchestrions and mechanical pianos. On the ceilings you will see over thirty tons of plaster mouldings. You will see three wrought‑iron staircases with unique metalwork on openings and ceilings – surpassing even the Hermitage in quality – brass carved ceilings, coloured glass and crystal stained‑glass windows and panels, fourteen oil paintings of ancient Pskov – the only ones in Russia that show, with complete historical accuracy, a panoramic view of Pskov at the end of the 16th century – smalt mosaic panels, a shower cabin in the spa assembled from Falconnière blocks and a monolithic brass frame weighing a ton, Monier vaults, frescoes and gilding, exclusive cast iron elements, cast iron floor tiles from 1811–1846 on the loggias, caisson carved ceilings, 18th‑century candelabra, hundreds of historic chandeliers and sconces. And you can see all this magnificence with your own eyes – either by staying at our hotel, or by simply joining a guided tour any day. You can also watch videos about the Frolov House on our six social media channels, or on a special paid platform, where Yuri Andreevich Frolov, the creator of the House‑Museum‑Hotel, personally guides you through every space and every room in greater detail, sharing the story of its creation – including things you will not be shown on regular tours. In addition, you can host your own event here, even without staying overnight.
We have paid particular attention to lighting. There is no other hotel or museum with so much high‑quality, varied, and mutually redundant lighting per square metre – in every single room. Visit our house and experience emotions and memories unlike anything else. We are certain you will want to return – either to stay in a different room, or to take another tour of the house. Be sure to visit our separate Museum of Soviet Food and Manufactured Goods – our collections are expanded almost daily.
In Frolov's house, over the course of 6 years of decoration, we have implemented many long-forgotten architectural and interior technologies and techniques! This is not just a luxurious hotel (objectively above 5 stars), but also a whole complex of museums and galleries with numerous exhibitions that are updated on a weekly basis.
And the uniqueness of our museum is also that you can not only see the exhibitions by visiting our house through the tour you choose, not only visit our separate museums and gallery, but also live among the historical masterpieces - artifacts, if you stay with us for a stay in the rooms of our boutique hotel with antique furniture and luxurious modern comfort! By visiting our house, you will understand why this loud statement is the truth and it is not exaggerated in any way.
When building the house, we did not use a single gram of plastic, plywood, MDF, or other chemicals. Only environmentally friendly materials were used in the construction and decoration of the house. For example, the house was decorated with the world's most durable German brick, Klinker M 1400, which is made with the addition of metal, as well as three types of hand-formed Belgian bricks, solid oak, ceramics, enamels, bronze, and other metals. All the interior paints, plasters, wallpapers, and putties were created in Germany specifically for the decoration of UNESCO architectural monuments. We don't have any Wi-Fi that's harmful to your health (yes, having Wi-Fi in hotels and cafes is not an advantage, but a disadvantage, as it can be very harmful to your health), but we do have internet outlets available for your convenience. Feel free to bring your own laptop, computer, or if you need one, we can provide you with one! And if you really need it, you can use the Wi-Fi router in your room, but only for a short period of time and then turn it off at night!
In terms of electromagnetic security, Frolov's house is a Faraday cage, i.e. You will be completely protected from microwave and high-frequency radiation from the outside (from the outside) when the curtains are closed. The curtains on the windows have a special additional fabric created at a military factory that prevents microwave radiation from passing through the windows/glasses. And for high-ranking officials, businesspeople, and intelligence officers, there is good news - it will be impossible to eavesdrop on you!
The house features hundreds of antique furniture from the late 16th to the early 20th century, as well as various masterpieces of art (including personal items from Russian tsars, Stalin, and European emperors), paintings by renowned artists, and unique musical instruments (such as orchestrions and mechanical pianos). There are more than 30 tons of plaster stucco on the ceilings, three forged staircases, unique door and ceiling frames, superior Hermitage-style brass-carved ceilings, colored glass and crystal stained-glass windows and panels, 14 oil paintings of ancient Pskov (the only ones in Russia that show a 360-degree panorama of Pskov in the late 16th century with complete historical accuracy), smalt paintings, and a shower cabin in the SPA made of Falconier blocks and a one-ton brass frame. The house has Monier vaults, frescoes and gilding, exclusive cast-iron casting, cast-iron floor slabs on the loggias from 1811-46, coffered carved ceilings, 18th-century candelabra, hundreds of historical chandeliers and sconces, and much, much more.
