The large district center of Fastiv, 70 kilometers northwest of Kyiv, in ancient times was called Khvastiv.
The revival after the Tatar-Mongol invasions began in the 16th century, when Fastiv was owned by the Rozhanovsky princes.
In 1601 the city received the Magdeburg law and became the residence of the bishops. A church was built here, a Jesuit college was opened, and a Bernardine monastery was founded.

During the Koliyivshchyna, the residence of the Cossack atamans Mykyta Shvachka and Andriy Zhurba was located in Fastiv.
In the second half of the XIX century the city became the property of Frantsishek Ksaveriy Branytsky of Bila Tserkva - at his expense was built a pompous Church of the Exaltation (1903-1911).
The opening of traffic on the Fastiv Railway in 1870 contributed to the development of industry - opened a distillery, boiler and mechanical plant and brewery Yulius Zibert, which still produces beer brand "Zibert".
In 1918, a "pre-accession treaty" was signed at the Fastiv railway station, which preceded the Act on the Unification of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the Western Ukrainian People's Republic into a Single State (Act of Unification). Now on this day, as well as on the Day of Reunification, solemn events are held here every year.
Великий райцентр Фастів, що в 70 кілометрах на північний захід від Києва, в давнину називався Хвастів.
Відродження після татаро-монгольських набігів почалося з XVI сторіччя, коли Фастів перебував у власності князів Рожановських.
У 1601 році місто отримує Магдебурзьке право та стає резиденцією єпископів. Тут зводиться костел, відкривається єзуїтський колегіум, засновується монастир бернардинців.
Наприкінці XVII століття Фастів став полковим центром, резиденцією прославленого козацького полковника Семена Палія, який будував у місті храми та сприяв заселенню цих земель. За часів Коліївщини в Фастові розташовувалася резиденція козацьких отаманів Микити Швачки та Андрія Журби.

У другій половині XIX століття місто стало власністю Францішка Ксаверія Браницького з Білої Церкви - на його кошти було споруджено помпезний Воздвиженський костел (1903-1911 роки).
Відкриття руху на Фастівській залізниці в 1870 році посприяло розвитку промисловості - відкрилися спиртзавод, котельно-механічний завод і пивоварня Юліуса Зіберта, яка і зараз випускає пиво марки "Зіберт".
У 1918 році на залізничній станції "Фастів" був підписаний "передвступний договір", який передував Акту про об'єднання УНР і ЗУНР в єдину державу (Акт Злуки). Зараз в цей день, а також в День Соборності, тут щорічно проходять урочисті заходи.
Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church
Temple , Architecture
The Roman Catholic Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Fastiv was built at the beginning of the 20th century according to the project of the architect Vladyslav Dombrovskyi in the neo-Gothic style at the expense of Countess Branytska.
The main facade is crowned by two different towers, between which the central entrance to the church is located. Above the entrance there is a characteristic round Gothic rose window. The facade features a sculpture of a bishop and a bas-relief composition "Christ Blessing the Children". The interior decoration of the church is quite ascetic, except for the columns with magnificent capitals.
The original asymmetric temple with rich decor is considered a business card of the city.
The building of the Catholic seminary is located nearby. Father Zygmund Kozar, the abbot of the church, thanks to whom the Catholic shrine of Fastiv was revived and restored in the 1990s, is buried on the territory of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church.

At the time of its launch, the Fastiv Brewery could produce about 50,000 dal of beer per year. The enterprise was not damaged during both world wars.
A large-scale reconstruction with a complete update of technology was carried out in 2008. Currently, the capacity of the enterprise, which is part of the "Obolon" association, is 12 million deciliters of beer per year.
