May 21 - Kizhi Kizhi is an island near the geometrical center of the Lake Onega. In the 1950s, dozens of historical wooden buildings were moved to the island from various parts of Karelia for preservation purposes. Nowadays, the entire island and the nearby area form a national open-air museum with more than 80 historical wooden structures. Roof boards resemble snake heads - perhaps aid in taking rain away from the foundation. |
