The pogost of Kizhi (Kizhi enclosure) is located on an island in Lake Onega, in Karelia. The pogost includes an octogonal wooden bell tower and two 18th-century churches also in wood: the Church of the Intercession located on the south, was used during the winter, while the Church of the Transfiguration, located on the north, was used during the summer. UNESCO WHS in 1990
