The Church of the Transfiguration is one of the wooden churches located on Kizhi, an
island on Lake Onega, north east of Saint Petersburg. The church is made entirely from
wood but does not use a single nail, and is 37 meters high with 22 onion-shaped domes,
giving it a very distinctive and fairytale-like appearance. It is believed that the basic
foundation for the church was completed in the 16th century, but this was destroyed in a
fire from a lightning strike, and the church was rebuilt in 1714. The wooden churches of
Kizhi, including this Church of the Transfiguration, were registered as a UNESCO World
Heritage Site in 1990.

Handy Hint
Write down the number on the back of each part as you cut them out.
Since many of the parts are complicated and very small, do a trial assembly before actually
attaching them together.
The finished piece will look more realistic if you paint the edges of the parts with colors similar
to the parts.
