The biggest building in the world that’s made entirely from wood (even down to the nuts and bolts!)

















 It has withstood the Earth's elements for more than 150 years and yet this spectacular church, on Russia's western Kizhi island, remains the tallest wooden structure in the world. The Russian Orthodox Church, called Kizhi Pogost, stands at 123 feet tall and has 22 magnificent wooden domes. It has recently undergone a renovation and now looks as good as new.
