Flooded Belfry, Bell tower in Kalyazin, Russia
The 74-meter tall neoclassical brick bell tower stands on an artificial island in the Uglich Reservoir, rising directly from the water.
Built in 1800 as part of Saint Nicholas Church, the structure survived the 1939 flooding of old Kalyazin during the construction of Uglich Reservoir.
The bell tower serves as a place of worship during religious celebrations, with regular services held on the small artificial island throughout summer.
Local boat owners offer three different tour routes to reach the bell tower, departing from the shore directly across from the structure.
The structure functions as a navigation point for vessels traversing the sharp river bend, with its foundations reinforced in the 1980s to prevent tilting.
