Churches and cathedrals Church of the Savior on Berestov

Located just a little north of the Monastery Of The Caves in an area known as Berestove is The Church Of The Savour Of Berestove ,an unbelievably beautiful church ,constructed in the reign of Grand Prince Of Kievan Rus Volodymyr Monomakh between 1113 and 1125 as the main cathedral of the Transfiguration Monastery. The middle ages saw the church destroyed through a series of wars and invasions, rebuilt during 1640 - 1644 the church was rebuilt, its beautiful 5 domes are superb, very photogenic and makes for some great photographic opportunities, we were exploring the Pechers'ka Lavra district and this was one of many churches we passed and enjoyed.Most definitely well worth checking out if your planning a trip into Pechers'ka Lavra and easy to locate along Lavrska Street.

Part of the Lavra Complex, the Cathedral displays traditional feature and some which illustrate too the amount of restoration and redevelopment which has assisted with its growth. The area itself is known as Berestove and the Cathedral is a good sightseeing opportunity after Glory Park has been toured.

Остаётся месяц до конца реконструкции. Конец виден!
