🏯#crazyroof Saturday! This #uniqueroof is the: Kizhi Pogost Church Location: Kizhi Island, Russia Style: 18th century Russian Materials: Wood This sparkling silver roof sits atop the world’s largest wholly wooden building. The Kizhi Pogost Church’s roof was constructed out of Scot’s pine and spruce in the 18th century. Fire, lightning, and time have worn at the wood, but the community has continued to repair it. The 22 roof domes, called cupolas, are the only part of the building with nails. Every wooden shingle is finely textured, and there are over 60,000 of them. Legend has it that the man, Master Nestor, who built the church used a single axe throughout the whole project. When it was done, he threw the axe in the lake, saying “there was not and will be not another one to match it.” He was talking about the building. *image and article comlliments of IKO #reddogsroofing #roofingblog #roofingnews (at Kizhi Island Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEeuB-CDRZi/?igshid=nhu5z4nr47m8

🏯 #crazyroof Saturday!!! This #uniqueroof is the: Himeji White Heron Castle Location: Himeji, Japan Style: Feudal Japanese Materials: Wood, tile, plaster The White Heron Castle is so named because it reminds visitors of a white egret (a kind of heron) taking off into the sky. The building looks quite modern, but only because it has been meticulously maintained and renovated over the years. It was actually first built in 1609, during Japan’s feudal period. The new tiles are still made by traditional methods. The black edge tiles are carefully placed and pressed down to make the rippling texture. The roof tiles had once faded to grey, but they were restored to a brilliant white most recently in 2010. In the image above you can see the faded grey tiles on the left and the bright white restored tiles on the right. *images & article compliments of IKO(.)com #reddogsroofing #roofingblog #IKO #japaneseroofs #roofsoftheworld (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD65fsMD4va/?igshid=8q9dufyuvqqz
