Борисоглібський собор збудований в Чернігові в XII столітті на фундаменті давнішої кам'яної споруди XI століття, неодноразово перебудовувався.

Під час реставрації в середині XX століття будівлі повернули давньоруські форми. В інтер'єрі Борисоглібського собору збереглися старовинні фрески, інкрустована підлога.

В приміщенні собору відкрито музей архітектури, який входить до складу Національного архітектурно-історичного заповідника "Чернігів стародавній".

Адміністрація заповідника розміщена в розташованій поруч будівлі Колегіуму (1672 рік), який у XVII столітті був частиною Борисоглібського монастиря - резиденції чернігівських митрополитів.
