🏯#crazyroof Saturday! This #uniqueroof is the: Kizhi Pogost Church Location: Kizhi Island, Russia Style: 18th century Russian Materials: Wood This sparkling silver roof sits atop the world’s largest wholly wooden building. The Kizhi Pogost Church’s roof was constructed out of Scot’s pine and spruce in the 18th century. Fire, lightning, and time have worn at the wood, but the community has continued to repair it. The 22 roof domes, called cupolas, are the only part of the building with nails. Every wooden shingle is finely textured, and there are over 60,000 of them. Legend has it that the man, Master Nestor, who built the church used a single axe throughout the whole project. When it was done, he threw the axe in the lake, saying “there was not and will be not another one to match it.” He was talking about the building. *image and article comlliments of IKO #reddogsroofing #roofingblog #roofingnews (at Kizhi Island Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEeuB-CDRZi/?igshid=nhu5z4nr47m8
