Church of the Presentation of Christ and Saint Michael

The Church of the Presentation of Christ and Saint Michael exhibits horizontal log construction with interlocked corners and sphagnum moss insulation throughout its structure.

Built in 1665, this religious structure stands as one of the remaining examples of traditional northern Russian wooden architecture from the seventeenth century.

The church represents the Eastern Orthodox religious practices that emerged following Prince Vladimir's influence on the conversion of Rus to Christianity.

Located at coordinates 61.59867 latitude and 38.661435 longitude, the church maintains its status as a federal cultural heritage site in Russia.

The structure combines local ancient forest logs with specialized construction techniques that allowed it to endure centuries of harsh northern weather conditions.
