    Located in the Khizi Pogost on the island of Kizhi in the Republic of Karelia, Russia.
    Many old wooden buildings were moved to this island from all over Karelia in order to preserve them in a museum like setting.  The most famous of them is the Kizhi Pogost.  The Kizhi Pogost enclosure holds 2 churches & an octagonal bell tower.  According to the Russian carpentry traditions of the time the church was made without nails. All the structures were made of scribe-fitted horizontal logs with interlocking corners joinery.  An amazing feat to accomplish!  You can read more about this UNESCO World Heritage Center online.
