An amazing wooden house with seven dragons was built in the center of Tomsk on Soldatskaya Street in 1917. Shortly before its erection the architect Vikentii Orzheshko traveled through Europe. Probably, after this trip he came up with the idea of "moving" the native city of Norwegian dragons from the ancient church in Borgund.
Amazing figures of dragons on the pediment and the roof of the «house with dragons» attract attention. At the same time the house differs from neighboring buildings in its laconism. In 1974 it was included in the list of architectural monuments of federal significance. Public organizations house the house with the dragons for many years.
