Peryn Skete, Orthodox church near Lake Ilmen in Veliky Novgorod, Russia.
The Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos at Peryn Skete measures 8 meters in length and width, featuring a single dome atop four internal pillars.
The stone structure, built in the 1230s, stands on the former site of a wooden temple dedicated to Perun, the Slavic god of thunder and lightning.
Archaeological excavations in the 1950s uncovered evidence of the pre-Christian sanctuary that existed before the establishment of religious buildings at this location.
The church operates daily from 8 AM to 8 PM and visitors can reach it by taking regular bus services from Veliky Novgorod central station.
Three nineteenth-century brick buildings near the church served as monastic cells and remain part of the federal cultural heritage complex.
