      • The gazebo was built in 1883 to a design by Viktor Vasnetsov not far from the church.
      • The log house of thick logs stands on stumps, and the ridge over the north gable is decorated with a carved horse's head.
      • The owls and bats on the gables later became popular motifs of Russian Art Nouveau.
      • Mikhail Nesterov, on first coming to Abramtsevo, called the hut a “pagan shrine” and a “wonderful creation”.
      • The majolica bench from Vrubel's sketches was installed in 1915 on “Tanyon's Nose”, a cape named after the Mamontovs' tutor Jules Tanion.
      • In 1965–1971 the bench was restored, with the missing tiles picked from archaeological finds of the Abramtsevo workshop.
