Not far from the cathedral, in the west part of the kremlin, is the wooden Church of St. Nicholas (1766) built in the village of Glotovo in the heart of the Yuryev district and transferred to Suzdal in 1960 (111. 72). It was brought here as one of the first steps to set up an open air museum of Russian architecture in Suzdal. There are comparatively few surviving specimens of old wooden architecture in central Russia and this building is an excellent specimen of the early type of wooden church in which the main body is very similar to the basic unit of an ordinary peasant's house. Both consist of simple rectangles built of round logs laid horizontally and inter­locking at the corners. The Church of St. Nicholas is ele­vated over a ground storey and surrounded on three sides by a raised gallery. The main, rectangular body of the church is adjoined on the west side by the somewhat lower building of the refectory, trapeza, where people could shelter and partake of refreshment, and on the east side by a faceted altar apse. The steeply pitched plank roofs and tiny dome with scaly shingles make this small, simple building with its somewhat dumpy lower sections look remarkably slender and imposing. We shall see similar designs based on traditional forms going back over the centuries in small seventeenth- and eighteenth-century heated stone churches in Suzdal and a house dating from the same period near the Spaso Yevfimiev Monastery. The clear-cut outline of the Church of St. Nicholas fits quite naturally into the kremlin ensemble and the town as a whole, showing the close relationship between stone and wooden architecture.

Looking north from the ramparts we can see the quiet river Kamenka, now overgrown with sedge, at the foot of the hill on which the town is situated. On the right above the steep slope of the river's left bank there is a group of eighteenth-century churches: the Church of the Entry into Jerusalem and the Church of St. Paraskeva, with the Church of the Resurrection behind them. Fur­ther on you can see the Church of St. Lazarus and the tall bell-tower of the Convent of the Deposition of the Robe with its famous double gateway and two tent-shaped spires. To the left is the solid red and white square tower of the Spaso-Yevfimiev Monastery and the tops of the bell-tower and church in the Monas­tery of St. Alexander. Straight ahead of us in a slight hollow on the right bank are the churches of the Epiphany and the Nativity with a graceful, tent-shaped bell-tower beside them. Behind them in the distance one can just make out the Convent of the Intercession and the Church of St. Peter and St Paul.
