Dating back to 1531, the Church of the Nativity of Our Lady from Peredki village is a remarkable survivor, now carefully preserved within the Vitoslavlitsy open-air museum near Novgorod. This ancient, compact church, with its distinctive multi-gabled roofline and sturdy log construction, showcases the enduring power and simple elegance of early Russian wooden religious architecture. Its journey from a remote village to a museum setting ensures its centuries-old story continues to inspire awe for its resilience and unassuming grace.
