General information about Museum of the History of Kyiv Charity (Peter I House) (Kyiv)

The oldest of the surviving civil buildings in Podil, which has undergone many reconstructions. According to legend, in 1706 Peter I, who directed the construction of the Pechersk fortress, stopped here. Later, the house belonged to the Kyiv viit Bykovsky, who kept a tavern in it. Then there was a "house of humility", a parish school, an orphanage. Now the premises are occupied by the Museum of the History of Kyiv Charity. One of the most valuable exhibits is a rare baroque icon "Mother of God with a baby" of the XVIII century.

Пізніше будинок належав київському війту Биковському, який утримував в ньому шинок. Потім тут розміщувався "будинок покори", парафіяльне училище, сирітський притулок.
