Saints Borys and Hlib Church
The Church of Saints Borys and Hlib in Vyshhorod was rebuilt in the 19th century on the site of an ancient Rus hillfort on Hill Olha.
The first church was founded here by Prince Volodymyr. In 1030, on the site of the burnt church, Yaroslav the Wise built a temple-tomb in honor of Saints Borys and Hlib, where the relics of the holy martyrs were transferred, and in 1115 Yaroslav's grandsons built a stone cathedral.
The temple, destroyed by the Tatar-Mongols, was revived by archpriest Mykhaylo Sikachynskyi according to the project of the architect Kostyantyn Ton.
During Soviet times, the Church of Saints Borys and Hlib in Vyshhorod was turned into a museum. Now the temple is active. Nearby are the ramparts of the hillfort.
