Saint Nicholas Church on Lipno Island, Orthodox church building on Lipno Island, Russia

The Saint Nicholas Church stands on an island formed by branches of the Msta River where it flows into Lake Ilmen.

Archbishop Kliment commissioned the stone church construction in 1292, marking the first documented stone structure in Novgorod after the Mongol invasion.

The church interior contains thirteenth-century frescoes, including the Annunciation composition and Three Youths in the Fiery Furnace on the eastern pillars.

The church is accessible only by boat during summer months and by walking across frozen water during winter season.

The building incorporates a mixture of construction materials, with walls made of different sized limestone and shell rock without initial plastering.

Location: Сковородка (Новгородський район)

Inception: 1292
