| The village and churches of Kizhi were first mentioned in chronicles four hundred years ago. In the 16th century, Kizhi was the administrative centre of the large Zaonezhye region, with numerous settlements on islands and on the mainland. It was the land of diligent, prosperous, and religious people - fishermen, peasants, merchants, blacksmiths, carpenters - with rich culture and traditions. The heart of the Kizhi ensemble is the Church of the Transfiguration, the Church of the Intercession, and a belfry located between them. |
