去的时候不巧在内部装修 但从外面看已经太值得了

Just seen it from outside. It was magnificent

성당은 아직도 수리중이라 못들어가지만 티켓값하는 뷰를 가지고있습니다

The most beautiful church I’ve ever seen

Найгарніша церква Києва

Saint Andrew's Church was built in honor of Saint Andrew who is recognized as the "Apostle of Rus". According to the chronicle The Tale of Bygone Years, Saint Andrew came to the Dnieper (Dnipro) river's slopes in the 1st century AD and erected a cross on the current location of the church. He prophesied that the sparsely inhabited area would become a great city. As he predicted, the site arose to become the city of Kiev, a center of the Eastern Orthodox faith. In 1086, the Grand Prince of Kiev Vsevolod Iconstructed a small church, dedicated to the erection of the cross by Saint Andrew. In 1215, Prince Mstyslav of Halych built the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross nearby. However, the church did not survive after the Mongol invasion of Kievan Rus' in 1240. From that point after, wooden churches were constructed in the place where the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross had been located, although, were too destroyed and again replaced with another one. In 1690, a wooden church consecrated to Saint Andrew was moved from the Brethren's cloister in the Podil to the Andriyivsky Mount. It too did not last long, only until 1726, when it was pulled down.

Picturesque view of Podil and Dnipro river from view point around the church. The church itself is one the most beautiful in Kyiv. Worth visiting definitely.

Very beautiful church. Worth stopping by to admire it.

On the top of the city, makes you have good views of Kiev.. Funicular was shut down for maintance and therefore I walked a bit much 🤗

Nice!
