DIRECTIONS →OVERVIEW
Built between 1841 and 1843 for Bishop Innocent (Ivan Veniaminov), later canonized as St. Innocent of Alaska, the log house is one of the few surviving Russian colonial buildings in North America and is preserved by the National Park Service as part of Sitka National Historical Park.
REPORTED ACTIVITY
Visitors and staff have described a tall, robed figure near the chapel or by the window where the bishop is said to have prayed, a presence local accounts describe as watchful rather than threatening.
VISITING
Open to the public through the National Park Service with seasonal guided tours.
