Pegrema
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Pegrema is an abandoned village in Kareliya, Russia, in the region of the town of Medvezhegorsk. It is situated on a bank of the Onego Lake, about 10 km from Unitsa in the Unitsa Gulf.

The Pegrema village is a beautiful example of the wooden architecture of Zaonezh'e. It consists of several large peasant houses, the fronts of which are faced to the lake.

In the 1770 the Varlaam Khutynskiy chapel was built on a little cape in front of the houses. Now the chapel is almost completely safe, although all icons were removed from it after the Russian Revolution.
