 Wooden Church of the Dormition of the MostHoly mother of God - posted by stapler77

The church was constructed in 1694 from local trees. This church has an active congregation and the head of the church is Patriarch Kirill. (from (visit link) )

From the distance, especially from the side of the river, the Church seems like a fantastic sailing ship that is in the fields rather than the ocean.
