1 Introduction Wooden Heritage represents one of the oldest example of architecture developed by different cultures from all over the world, who developed specific features with unique compositional solutions (Zwerger 2012). In Northern Europe as well as in Russia, wooden buildings existed already during the early 17th century (Anker and Snitt 1997). They were built in a tight connection with the surrounded environment creating intimate relationships with the landscape. Materials belonged to the near forests, decorative motif and details took inspirations by the Nature and its elements (Fig. 1). In many occasions, craftsmen and artisans, direct authors of these unique heritage, were “simple” skilled experts of the place, inhabitants of the surrounded areas, people of whom we often have not today any precise information. Today, because of negligence, sudden events like fire, or even because of absence of accurate plans of preservation most of our world wooden heritage is already reduced, part of it is dramatically abandoned or totally vanished without any documentary testimony (Fig. 2). However, even if historic wooden buildings and timber structures were not considered enough important in the past, evidently due to a greater preference and attitude for the more ancient stone and brick architecture, part of the wooden heritage still survived until now and it is still present in many regions (Hansen Hans 1969).
Fig. 1 Historic wooden architecture from Russia and Finland has many examples of constructive and decorative details that seem to explicitly emulate the forms of Nature. Perhaps also, for this reason, wooden buildings and landscape appear harmoniously integrated creating a unique cultural landscape in which architecture and northern forests live together

Fig. 2 The historic wooden settlement of Jylhämä in the region of Vaala, Finland. This place it used to be a former outdoor museum along the Oulujoki River. After years it was sold to privates that are today the owners. Buildings are in a serious state of abandonment. The vegetation has already started to surround the architecture. Timber structures are dramatically compromised. Now there are not any documentary actions of intervention for repairing this heritage, which is destined to disappear if specific restoration activities will not start soon
