Abstract

There are few pieces of wooden architecture heritage remaining in Central Russia today, but in the past wooden construction flourished there and had a rich tradition. Recent research of Moscow Oblast wooden architecture reveals an almost unstudied field in the history of architecture. Wooden churches of Central Russia have unique architectural and constructive features, which distinguish them from the well-studied wooden churches of Northern Russia. On the example of three studied objects, the article reviews the typology, specifics of architectural forms, techniques of façade finishing, and coloring. The article provides insight into the architectural, artistic and stylistic features of Central Russian wooden church architecture.
