Собор Антонія та Феодосія у Василькові – зразок архітектури українського бароко.

Собор на честь преподобних Антонія та Феодосія збудований в середині XVIII сторіччя кріпаком Києво-Печерської лаври Степаном Ковніром на замовлення лаврського архімандрита (за легендою, від васильківського собору до лаври прокладено підземний хід).

Зовні нагадує козелецький собор Різдва Богородиці. Характерною деталлю архітектури вважаються фронтони з карнизами подвійної кривизни (скульптор Тальянець).

В інтер'єрі збереглися розписи Василя Бібібкова. Головна святиня – чудотворна ікона Божої Матері Триручниці.
