This region is remarkable for its majestic scenery and unique architecture. Near to Arkhangelsk, at the village of Malye Karelie, the State Museum of Wooden Architecture is located between the hills of the Northern Dvina Region. More than 104 wooden buildings are brought here from the river banks of the northern rivers (Pinega, Mezen, Dvina and Onega). The powerful and austere architecture of the 15th- century Solovetsky Monastery- the former northern outpost of Russia- seemingly rising from the White Sea, and the magnificence of the white- stoned Kargopol founded in the early 12th century, produce an indelible impression on the beholder. Antonievo-Siysky monastery is located near the city of Arkhangelsk. It is located in a picturesque place, among forests and lakes. It is not accidental, that these monuments, created over the centuries by the genius of unknown Russian masters, are rightly called the" wonder of the North".
