    The nailess-ness of this church refers specifically to its walls and eves, the roofing and shingles of its 22 domes contain over 100,000 nails.

    While the original church was built at the start of the 1700’s, it burned in the 1960’s and was rebuilt according to its previous specifications, including the interlocking log structure. It’s part of a larger complex of similarly interesting buildings.
