Church of the Intercession on the Nerl, Eastern Orthodox church at Bogolyubovo, Russia.
The Church of the Intercession stands at the confluence of Nerl and Klyazma rivers, demonstrating white stone architecture with a single dome and four columns.
Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky ordered the construction of this religious structure in 1165 to mark his military success against the Volga Bulgars.
The church walls display stone carvings featuring King David, female figures, and animals that reflect both religious symbolism and regional traditions.
The building rests on an artificial hill with thick limestone walls, preventing damage during seasonal floods that submerge the surrounding meadow.
During spring floods, water surrounds the structure on all sides, creating an optical effect where the white stone church appears to float above the water.
