Church of St. Nicolas from Usokha (1536) in Pskov (Russia).

---

The church of St. Nicolas from Usokha was built in place of drained swamp ("Usokha" stands for drained swamp) in 1371, but in 1536 it was replaced by a new church which was second largest church in the city that time (after Trinity Cathedral). Due to cultural layers which are 2 meters thick the church nowadays looks more stocky than it was in 16th century. It is very typical for Pskovian medieval architecture.
