Co-Cathedral of St. Alexander, Kyiv, Neoclassical church building near Independence Square, Kyiv, Ukraine.

The Co-Cathedral of St. Alexander features a cruciform plan with a central dome and symmetrical proportions following Neoclassical architectural principles.

The cathedral's construction began in 1817 after a wooden church commemorating Tsar Alexander I's visit burned down, leading to a new brick structure.

The building transitions from church to planetarium during Soviet times and back to religious use reflects the changing social dynamics of Ukraine.

Located at Kostolna Street 17, the cathedral welcomes visitors daily between 7:00 and 20:00 for prayer, services, and architectural appreciation.

This Latin Catholic co-cathedral serves the Diocese of Kyiv-Žytomyr while maintaining its status as a national architectural heritage monument.
