Few castles in the middle of rivers? Well, what about church towers in the middle of rivers? May be even fewer, or may be not.
The fact is that I know two of them and have passed by. Both are in the rivers, lakes and canals system which links Moscow and Saint Petersburg by water, a gigantic public works project carried on during the harshest period of Stalin rule. A lot of villages were "sacrificed" by the project and are now below water level. In some cases the towers of the respective churches were high enough not to be fully engulfed by the waters, so they now remain lone witnesses of a bygone past.
Free of charge, I allow you to see them as exactly as I did from my boat.
