4. Transfiguration Church, Kizhi Pogost, Russia
via panoramio.com
It was given the distinction of being part of the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and rightly so. The Transfiguration Church is one of two wooden church structures found within Kizhi Pogost, located along the banks of Lake Onega in Russia.
The church was built in 1714 to replace the original one, which was struck by lightning and burned down. And it’s no wonder that it was completely destroyed, as it’s made of wood without nails. The wooden church has a whopping 22 domes of different shapes and sizes and is 37 metres high.
