Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist
Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist, Orthodox church in Staraya Ladoga, Russia
The Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist stands at the intersection of the Volkhov River and Ladozhka River within Staraya Ladoga's historical center.
Dating from 1695, this religious structure formed an integral part of the medieval fortification system that protected the trade route from Lake Ladoga.
The church embodies traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements with its characteristic wooden construction methods and religious design principles of the late 17th century.
The church building maintains regular opening hours for visitors, with guided tours available through the local tourism office in Staraya Ladoga.
This federal cultural heritage site preserves specific construction techniques from the 1690s, showing the transition between medieval and imperial Russian architectural styles.
