General information about Nativity of Christ Church (Kyiv)

The date of the foundation of the wooden Nativity of Christ Church in Podil is established by tradition. It was first mentioned in written sources in 1520.

The stone structure of the Nativity of Christ Church was built on Kontraktova Square in 1809-1814 according to the project of architect Andriy Melenskyi.

In 1861, the people of Kyiv said goodbye to Taras Shevchenko's ashes, which were transported from St. Petersburg to Kaniv.

The Nativity of Christ Church on Podil was destroyed by the Bolsheviks in the middle of the 20th century and restored in 2003 in its original form.

Кам'яна споруда церкви Різдва Христового зведена на Контрактовій площі в 1809-1814 роках за проєктом архітектора Андрія Меленського.
