Veliky Novgorod, Russia
Church of Vlasius (St Blaise) was built in stone in 1407 at the expense of the inhabitants of the pottery sloboda instead of the previous wooden church. Not so big or bright, but very distinctive, this church was one of the most important in the city. Later the church was rebuilt many times, and almost completely destroyed by the end of WWII. After restoration in 1954-1959, the appearance is very different from what it was in the 19th century, but closer to the original version of the 15th century.
