RE: Church of the Ascension or the Second Life of a Wooden Church of the 16th Century

Exactly! I definitely agree with you, my friend @danny.green. Since time immemorial, preservatives, treatments, and special chemicals have always been added to natural wood to sustain their material lifespan. However, because wood is an immensely precious natural resource, Architects, Engineers, and Scientists have gone to the extremes of inventing engineered or artificial wood, for the sake of saving our planet. 👍

I'm glad that Belarus has been taking valuable measures to maintain their historic wooden monuments. Or else you couldn't have encountered a priceless architectural icon, and feature its awesomeness here. Have an enjoyable week! Best wishes! 😊
