Saint Nicholas church, Wooden church in Kovda, Russia.
Saint Nicholas Church stands near the western shore of the White Sea, featuring a square main structure with a double-pitched roof and traditional bell tower.
The religious building, constructed in 1705, served the local community until its closure in 1960 during the Soviet period, leading to years of neglect.
The architectural design of Saint Nicholas Church reflects northern Russian construction methods through its log building structure and wooden decorative patterns.
Travelers can reach the church by taking a 30-hour train journey from Moscow to Murmansk, followed by a local connection to the village of Kovda.
Recent photographic documentation by William Craft Brumfield in 2001 captured the church's northeastern view, now preserved in the Library of Congress collection.
