The gate church of Nile Stolobensky was built in 1751-1755 by the Selizhar peasant Foma Pavlov. He took the gate Tikhvin Church of the Donskoy Monastery in Moscow as a model. This can be seen if we compare the two lower tiers of these temples. The upper part of the church of Nile Stolobensky was completely rebuilt in 1832-1838 in order to give it a resemblance to the new Epiphany Cathedral. Instead of the two upper tiers, a domed rotunda with a small dome was built.
Надвратную церковь Нила Столобенского построил в 1751-1755 гг. селижаровский крестьянин Фома Павлов. За образец он взял надвратную Тихвинскую церковь Донского монастыря в Москве. В этом можно убедиться, если сравнить два нижних яруса этих храмов. Верхнюю часть церкви Нила Столобенского полностью перестроили в 1832-1838 гг. для того, чтобы придать ей сходство с новым Богоявленским собором. Вместо двух верхних ярусов была сооружена купольная ротонда с небольшой главкой.

The Faroese have one of the oldest parliaments in the world, located in the Tinganes section of the capital city of Torshavn. Their parliament first met during the Viking ages in 825, and is in good company with other old parliaments such as that of Þingvellir in Iceland and Jamtamót in Sweden. The buildings still standing here today are from the 16th and 17th centuries.
Walking around Tinganes in the middle of a fine Sunday I discovered two things: 1) It's pretty darn small. You could see the whole thing in 5 minutes if you wanted. And 2) Like elsewhere in the Faroes, you're not likely to encounter a lot of other tourists (yay!). If you take a visit to Torshavn, it's pretty hard to pass up walking through this small and enjoyable historic area, easily accessible from downtown Torshavn on foot.
