General information about St. Andrew's Church Museum (Kyiv)

Baroque pearl - St. Andrew's Church - welcomes visitors to St. Andrew's Descent in Kyiv. The church was founded on the site of St. Andrew's Bastion of the Old Kyiv Fortress in 1744 before the arrival of Elizabeth I in Kyiv. According to legend, St. Andrew the First-Called erected a cross on this site and foretold the emergence of the "eternal city". Probably, this is the only work of architect V. Rastrelli that has survived in Ukraine. Rich interior decoration is close to the Rococo style. The balustrade of the church offers a picturesque panorama of Podil.

Перлина бароко – Андріївська церква – зустрічає відвідувачів Андріївського узвозу в Києві. Церква закладена на місці Андріївського бастіону Старокиївської фортеці в 1744 році до приїзду Єлизавети I до Києва. За легендою, Св. Андрій Первозванний встановив на цьому місці хрест і передрік виникнення "вічного міста". Ймовірно, це єдина робота архітектора В. Растреллі, що збереглася в Україні. Багате внутрішнє оздоблення близьке до стилю рококо. З балюстради церкви відкривається мальовнича панорама Подолу. В Андріївській церкві проводяться богослужіння ПЦУ – щоденні ранкові літургії, вечірні богослужіння, освячення води, хрещення, вінчання, інші обряди та духовні обряди. У ніч із суботи на неділю проводиться всенічна служба.
