Wow! Love those round architectural design of the balls on the steeple of the church. The ploughshares look thicker than the cedar shingles ~common here, sometimes used for siding.
The skill of building without nails seems to be a lost art, dear Northman. I’ve heard of houses being built here years ago without nails. The builders knew how to fit the pieces together securely.
You are right, they seem to me much more beautiful and interesting than metal domes 😊
I've seen a lot of houses in which the walls are assembled without nails, due to the overlap of logs, but I can't imagine how you can do something more complicated. the ancestors imagined and did...
I do like Russian architecture with the domes on the buildings but the wooden one is special.
Wishing you a wonderful rest of the weekend. 😊
