1688 RU - Cultural Landscape of Kenozero Lake (2024)

Located in Kenozero National Park in the north-western area of the European region of the Russian Federation, the property depicts the local cultural landscape that evolved here from the 12th century, following the gradual Slavic colonization. It incorporates a number of traditional rural settlements with vernacular wooden architecture and reflects the communal management of agriculture and nature that developed when the indigenous Finno-Ugric forest culture merged with the traditional Slavic field culture. Wooden churches and other religious buildings, originally decorated with painted ceilings, or “heavens”, are the key social, cultural, and visual landmarks of the area. Their spatial organization, together with sacred sites and symbols, highlight the residents’ spiritual connection with this environment.

该遗产地位于欧洲俄罗斯西北部的克诺泽罗(Kenozero)国家公园内,展现了12世纪以来当地逐渐被斯拉夫人殖民后形成的文化景观。这里有许多传统的乡村民居和乡土木质建筑,反映了芬兰—乌戈尔森林原住民文化和传统斯拉夫田野文化融合产生的农业与自然协同管理模式。木质教堂等宗教建筑是该地区重要的社会、文化、景观地标,最初安装有被称作“天堂”的彩绘天花板。这些建筑的空间构成结合其他宗教遗存和象征标志,共同突出了居民与环境的精神联结。
