RE: 📷 Russian Wooden Architecture. Chapel of Elijah the Prophet in the Village of Big Khaluy

in Architecture+Design3 years ago

Hello @sharker, welcome to the Architecture + Design Community! It's fascinating to see a wooden chapel built in the 18th century still look intact in this day and age.

Thank! I was delighted to find your community here on the Hive, hope to learn interesting things here, and also post here periodically.

As for the chapel, yes, I myself find it difficult to imagine that something wooden can stand and be used by people for centuries. It's rare, but it's possible - and that's great :)
