Vitoslavlitsy. Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God from the Village of Peryodki

This church, built in the 1530s, belonged to the Nativity Monastery, which was abolished in the 18th century. It is one of the rare surviving examples of 16th-century wooden architecture and has a cruciform core. A spacious covered gallery, raised 4 meters above ground, surrounds the main body on three sides. Three projecting sections held three altars: the main one dedicated to the Nativity of the Mother of God, the northern to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and the southern to St. Nikita the Martyr. The church was rebuilt several times. In 1967-1971 it was moved to Vitoslavlitsy and restored to a design by Leonid Egorovich Krasnorechyev, returning it to its 16th-century appearance while preserving some late-17th-century elements, including two small tent roofs. The church once had a three-tier iconostasis. Today it houses an exhibition on its history and restoration.
