From the book about temples of Suzdal:
At a temple of Prelate Nicolas the bell tower with a roof in the form of characteristic Suzdal "pipe" is made is the unique acoustic device skillfully made of a stone.
Apertures of rings serve in the top part of a tent for a resonance of high tones, average there is more than strengthening average frequencies, and greater windows of rings with decorative furnish - plat bands and attached columns - for distribution of all range of sounds strengthened by a tent-pipe to a horizontal direction. That is how the impression of a ring floating above the ground is made.
