Ascension of Our Lord Chapel, Karluk

Часовня Вознесения Господня в Карлуке

A wooden Orthodox church in the village of Karluk on Kodiak Island, built in 1888 for a parish dating back to the Russian America period. It has been listed on the US National Register of Historic Places since 1980. In August 2021 the building was moved about 80 feet inland because the eroding river bluff had reached the church.
