Moinho - Windmill

Esta ilha é um Patrimônio da Humanidade (Unesco) com o seu Museu a Céu Aberto de História, Arquitetura e Etnografia. Possui duas pequenas aldeias de agricultores medindo cerca de 7 km de comprimento e 500 m de largura. As principais construções são duas igrejas e uma torre-de-sino. Elas foram construídas com toras de pinheiros sem o uso de pregos ou parafusos. O resto da ilha abriga ainda belas estruturas em madeira, que incluem moinhos, capelas, barcos, saunas, celeiros, depósitos de grãos e casas.

O ponto alto da visita é a Igreja da Transfiguração. É uma construção de 1714 possui 22 domos em sua cobertura e uma grande iconóstase. Conheci também a Igreja da Intercessão de 1764 com seus 10 domos e suas iconóstases e a Torre-de-sino de 1874. Mais à frente tem a pequena Igreja da Ressurreição de Lázaro (A mais antiga da Russia feita em madeira). A paisagem é muito bonita. Embora estivessem 2 graus centigrados de temperatura, não senti muito frio pois estava um dia ensolarado e sem vento. Nas casas de madeira, podemos apreciar vários artesãos fazendo as suas peças de artesanato.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635949090997/ad7796bf-66e8-4de7-857a-3e5405bba678.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
