Places I want to visit: Kizhi Island

One of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen - an ancient wooden church on an Island not far from St Petersburg. The Church of the Transfiguration uses traditional Russian building methods - there are not even any nails, just pegs of wood...

I don't remember if i told you this or not but sadly this church is closed now, because it's falling. So it's under construction. But you can stay near and I think it's external side is the most attractive.
