Situated at the north end of Lake Onega, Kizhi Island is home to the famed Open Air Museum of Architecture. Dozens of buildings, including wooden houses, windmills and two 18th-century wooden churches, portray the region's unusual and visionary architecture. Kizhi's most famous building is the three-tiered, fairy tale-like Transfiguration Church, dating from 1714. With its 22 domes, it rivals the splendor of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. Within the same walled compound, see the 1862 octagonal bell tower and the Church of Intercession, built in 1764 without the use of a single nail.
