One of the most interesting samples of ancient architecture, preserved and active to this day.

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.
