Bath-house in the Abramtsevo estate.

The roots of Abramtsevo go far into the past: for the first time the village of Obramkovo was mentioned in the documents of the 16th century, but as an estate it has been known since the beginning of the 18th century.

It is no coincidence that the bathhouse-teremok (1877–1878) designed by I.P. Ropeta is considered one of the most "bizarre" buildings on the estate: a low wooden building with a mezzanine has very unusual proportions - small windows and a door, a massive porch and a high wide roof decorated with sawn carvings. The Aksakovs used the tower as a bathhouse, while the Mamontovs eventually converted it into a guest house. Now there is an exposition of the Abramtsevo carpentry workshop. But the bathhouse is worth visiting not only for the exhibition of products by E. D. Polenova, but also for the sake of the interior of the bathhouse - this is an excellent example of the "Russian style".

In the middle of the alpine scenery of the Julier Pass at 2,300 m altitude in Switzerland the red painted tower seems like a surreal unscaled photomontage. Presumably it is the highest theatre in Europe.

 

The Origen Cultural Festival is known for its unusual venues for music and dance performances. Today, it is one of the largest cultural institutions in the canton of Grisons. The cultural festival has now acquired a new location: a 30-metre-high gleaming red tower in the rocky landscape of the Julier Pass, 2,300 metres above sea level. The structure, which cost more than CHF 2 millions and was financed largely by donations, was planned as a temporary object and will presumably be dismantled in 2023. Since the site lies outside the permitted building area, the tower was allowed only on condition that it would be provisional.

A jewel among churches - the wooden Church of St. St. Nicholas is one of the oldest and most beautiful wooden churches in Slovakia. The three-part log building with a richly ornamented shingled roof and three towers was built in 1658. In 2008 it was entered in the UNESCO World Heritage List together with seven other wooden churches from the area of Slovak Carpathians.

 

The sacral monument is a part of a unique complex located in the center of Bodružal in the Svidník district. In addition to the temple, it also consists of a separate bell tower, an adjacent cemetery and a wooden fence with a shingled roof and an entrance gate covered by a conical roof.

 

The three church towers symbolizing the Holy Trinity will catch your attention for sure. The highest tower houses the bells, which were used for military purposes at the beginning of the World War I - the inhabitants of the village replaced them in the second half of the 1920s. The oldest preserved bell features the inscription “1759”.

Among the beautiful sacral sights we can undoubtedly include the Greek Catholic wooden Church of the Protection of the Holy Mother of God from 1770, which stands in the mountain village of Miroľa in the northeastern region of Slovakia.

 

It has a characteristic log structure and a three-part outer and inner division. The interior is decorated with iconostasis and altar. In the sanctuary, there is the icon of the archangel Michael and the icon of the Mother of God, Virgin Hodegetria with praise located. Liturgical objects are found in the anteroom that were revealed in the individual rebuildings of the temple. Especially the rare raincoat, probably from the 17th century, is worth noticing.

 

A special chapter is the rare books used in religious services in the Church-Slavic language. The temple has been repaired several times, most recently a complete reconstruction in 2005-2008 has been carried out. As well as with other wooden churches, even here stands a wooden entrance gate with a low shingled roof in front of the church.

The church of St. Bartholomew was built in 1600, and then over the centuries it was altered and restored a number of times.

 

The log church is oriented towards the East, and comprises a post-and-frame tower, a post-and-beam vestibule as well as a brick sacristy, which was added later. The nave is covered with a double-pitched roof and the chancel with a slightly lower three-pitched roof. The roof over the nave features a neo-Baroque turret. The tower with tapered walls, comprises a top chamber, and is clad with wood boards, and topped with a bulbous cupola.

 

Inside there is a coved ceiling, and barrel vault in the sacristy. The gallery is supported by four pillars. The entrance from the chancel to the sacristy is framed with ogee arch. The doors to the side of the nave feature the reinstalled Gothic fittings and a hammered lock from ca. 1600.

 

The Baroque and late Baroque furnishings inside include the high altar from the 1700s, two side altars at the entrance to the chancel from the 1600s, a unique pomegranate-shaped pulpit from the 1700s, as well as a Baroque chalice-shaped baptismal font made from black marble from the 1700s. The benches from 1756 are embellished with painted representations of the Apostles, representatives of various social strata, and scenes from the New Testament. The late-Baroque confessional, dating from the same time, is also decorated with paintings.

 

In Rogi, there once was a fortified castle, and relics of the ramparts can still be seen here. A reference to the castle, dating from 1462, can be found in a document related to the division of the estate between Czarnocki brothers. According to the document, the stronghold had two towers.

The historically preserved half-timbered cemetery church from the second half of the 16th century and its surrounding area have undergone extensive renovations in the past five years. Thanks to these changes, the complex has transformed into a pleasant oasis in the middle of the city, radiating the charm of history, comfort and interesting discovery. Additionally, there is plenty of entertainment and experiences for the whole family.

 

Visitors can explore a lapidarium with historical stone and wooden artifacts (crosses, tombstones, parts of portals, and sculptures) as well as partially restored original architecture (floors, roofs, galleries, benches, and more) inside the church. The church can be visited during May and June only on weekends, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. During the summer holidays, it will be open every day except Monday.

 

The historic structure is surrounded on all sides by a newly revitalized park with rich shrub and herb plantings, providing visitors a pleasant retreat amid a flood of flowers and scents. Nectar-producing plants also offer food for pollinators and, consequently for their predators, such as songbirds. Trees felled during the renovations have been repurposed as beetle habitats, creating a habitat for beneficial insects associated with decaying wood.

The medieval castle on a cliff rising on the eastern side of the valley of the Hernád River, in the immediate vicinity of Boldogkőváralja. The Miocene andesite tuff Bodókő Hill, on which the castle stands, is part of the Zemplén Landscape Protection Area. Due to the beauty of the landscape and the relatively good condition of the castle, it is a popular hiking destination, which is one of the stops of the National Blue Tour.

 

The earliest part of the castle (an old tower surrounded by a fortification) was probably built after the Tartar invasion and was erected either by Ispán Tyba, son of Jaak of the tribe of Tomaj, or by Judge Aba Amadé. When Károly Róbert Anjou chased the Aba, the castle came to the Drugeth family, which was loyal to him, and later to Péter Czudar. In the 15th century, it became the property of Serbian princes István and György, and then of the Szapolyai family. In Turkish times, he often changed hands as one of the venues for the intense battles between the emperor and the king. It was acquired by the conquering György Rákóczi in 1666, later it became important several times in the Kuruc times, but even before the Rákóczi War of Independence, in 1701, it was made uninhabitable by the emperors. The ruin was taken possession of by the Jesuits in the 18th century, who used it as a grain warehouse. Later it became the property of the Péchy and then the Zichy family, who, however, no longer lived in the uncomfortable fortress, instead using a baroque castle built in the area of ​​the serf village. Despite the bombing of imperial soldiers and the devastating centuries that followed, it is one of our best-preserved medieval castles.

The Bell Tower (The Shoro) of a Buddhist Temple, Todai-ji. Nara, Japan.

The Bell Tower was built in Zen style, which was originally called karayō (Chinese style). Its characteristics are earthen floors, subtly curved pent roofs (mokoshi) and pronouncedly curved main roofs, cusped windows (katōmado) and paneled doors. Examples of this style include the belfry at Tōdai-ji.

"Знаменитая деревянная Никольская церковь, построенная в 1696 году. Памятник представляет собой необычную для подобного типа культовых построек единую композицию из восьмигранной церкви с двумя прирубами — алтарем и притвором — и шатровой колокольни, соединенных между собой папертью.

Следует особо обратить внимание на то, как удачно поставлена Никольская церковь. Она является композиционным центром не только села, но и всей окружающей местности."

 

The famous wooden Nikolskaya church, built in 1696. The monument is a single composition, unusual for this type of religious buildings, from an octagonal church with two extensions - an altar and a vestibule - and a tent bell tower, interconnected by a porch.

Among the beautiful sacral sights we can undoubtedly include the Greek Catholic wooden Church of the Protection of the Holy Mother of God from 1770, which stands in the mountain village of Miroľa in the northeastern region of Slovakia.

 

It has a characteristic log structure and a three-part outer and inner division. The interior is decorated with iconostasis and altar.

Liturgical objects are found in the anteroom that were revealed in the individual rebuildings of the temple. Especially the rare raincoat, probably from the 17th century, is worth noticing.

 

A special chapter is the rare books used in religious services in the Church-Slavic language. The temple has been repaired several times, most recently a complete reconstruction in 2005-2008 has been carried out. As well as with other wooden churches, even here stands a wooden entrance gate with a low shingled roof in front of the church.
