The Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist features wooden architecture with onion domes and stands near the White Sea coast.

The church site traces back to 1526, when it played a key role in spreading Christianity among the local Sami population in northern Russia.

The interior of the church contains traditional Orthodox frescoes and icons that represent biblical narratives and saints according to Eastern Christian traditions.
