St Nicholas Church

Suzdal - Glotovo village, Vladimir Oblast Russia

Russian Orthodox

This log church, built in 1766, was moved to the Museum of Wooden Architecture, Suzdal, in 1960, one of the first open air museums. The main part is similar to a ordinary peasant's house and constructed with pegs. The steep pitch of the roof and small dome create a slender and imposing effect. Few of these wooden churches have survived.
