Description
Kizhi is one of Russia's most picturesque religious destinations. It features a beautiful ensemble of intricate wooden churches, chapels, and cottages. These structures on Kizhi Island date from various centuries (the oldest from the 14th century). A reconstructed village on Kizhi Island demonstrates traditional crafts and tasks of peasant life in the Karelia Region of Northern Russia. Villages original to the island also exist, and some houses are still inhabited by locals.
Kizhi is an island situated in Lake Onega, one of the largest lakes in Europe. It is near the Finnish border in the northwestern part of Russia -- northeast of St Petersburg.
