August 21st, 2019 : Russian Church
The Holy Trinity Church in the village of Pleskovo is one of the most peculiar places of worship in Russia because of its architecture.
Its creator was inspired by the words of one of Orthodox Christianity’s saints, who compared life to a rough sea and the church to a ship being steered through it by Jesus. Quote:
But don’t confuse it with another boat shaped church, as that one actually is a boat traveling the Volga River serving small communities. Hard to believe that boat will only handle 120 worshipers, the picture makes it look much bigger. link

Yeah, smaller. My link said it was a former military boat so they'd beaten swords into a plowshares. Putin should get a good belly laugh from that one.
