Kizhi Pogost - Russia

The pogost of Kizhi (i.e. the Kizhi enclosure) is located on one of the many islands in Lake Onega, in Karelia. 

Two 18th-century wooden churches, and an octagonal clock tower, also in wood and built in 1862, can be seen there. 

 These unusual constructions, in which carpenters created a bold visionary architecture, perpetuate an ancient model of parish space and are in harmony with the surrounding landscape.
