Church of the Transfiguration from Kozlyatievo, Russian wooden church in Suzdal, Russia.
The Church of the Transfiguration from Kozlyatievo is a 1756 wooden church moved here in 1965 from Kozlyatievo in the Vladimir region. A square base carries three octagonal tiers that shrink upward to a drum and onion dome. Side chapels and a refectory with a three-sided open gallery surround it, and the roofs and drums are covered with wooden shingles. The logs were squared into rectangular beams, which flattens the facade's relief.
The structure was built in 1756 in Kozlyatievo village and was later relocated to the open-air museum in Suzdal. This relocation in the 1960s allowed the building to be preserved for future generations.
The church is a exhibit of the Suzdal Museum of Wooden Architecture. Its interior holds a restored iconostasis and traces of naive oil painting. Since 1996, a copy of this church, the Church of St Nicholas, has stood in Gifhorn, Germany.
The church sits within an open-air museum complex that is open daily, allowing visitors to see it alongside other wooden structures. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the museum spreads across a large outdoor area.
In 1996 a copy of this church, the Church of St Nicholas, was consecrated in Gifhorn, Germany. The logs were also squared into rectangular beams, which the Ukrainian source says dulled the relief of the wooden facades. A log fence was rebuilt around the church.
