Kizhi Pogost is a historical site dating from the 17th century on Kizhi Island. The island is located on Lake Onega in the Republic of Karelia, Russia. The pogost is the area inside a fence which includes two large wooden churches and a bell tower. The pogost is famous for its beauty and longevity, despite that it is built exclusively of wood. It was included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites and in 1993 listed as a Russian Cultural Heritage site.
