Annunciation Church, Heritage site in Kola, Russia.
The Annunciation Church features a massive multi-faceted bulbous dome placed directly on the main quadrangular structure, covering its entire surface without a drum section.
Built in 1804 under Catherine II's orders, this Orthodox church represents the first stone building constructed on the Kola Peninsula by Vasily Myshkin from Arkhangelsk.
The refectory contains two side chapels, with the northern one dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, traditionally considered the guardian of maritime travelers.
The church maintains regular operating hours from 07:00 to 19:00 daily, allowing visitors to explore its historical architecture and religious significance.
The church houses the Poklonny Cross, recognized as the Arctic region's oldest wooden monument, originally placed where fishermen began their maritime journeys.
