However, even closed the main attraction – the famous wooden Church of the Transfiguration. But it had removed the forest, and she shines in the sun its 22 domes. In the late nineties, a unique reconstruction project of the historical monument developed in St. Petersburg Institute memorials “Spetsproektrestavratsiya”. Its basis is the method of lifting. This is when the Church was divided into layer and set jacks. Then gradually from each layer of logs pulled out and restored. Changed not the whole wood. It got entered into the database, carefully analyzed and tried to treat. Thus maintained as much as possible the authentic logs. And for this we used a unique method, which was developed by specialists of the Museum-reserve.
But first, the method of lifting tested on the restoration of the Karelian large chapel in the village chuynavolok on the Syamozero. The master of the carpenter center of the Museum-reserve “Kizhi” under the guidance of Norwegian experts then successfully went through and replaced the old log chapel. It is the complexity and uniqueness of the project to ensure maximum preservation of the monument, engineering amplification system of insurance works and modern security system like the chapel and the Church of the Transfiguration. As for the interior decoration of the Church, only the height of the Central part of the iconostasis frame more than seven meters, length – almost 24. The number of icons four-row iconostasis of the Transfiguration can be attributed to the category of the largest iconostases of churches in the Russian North.
