Liubech, Ancient settlement on the Dnieper River in Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine.

Located 200 kilometers north of Kyiv, Liubech stretches across 6 square kilometers of land near the border between Ukraine and Belarus.

The Council of Liubech in 1097 gathered princes of Kievan Rus to establish territorial divisions, marking a key moment in medieval Eastern European governance.

St. Anthony of the Caves, born in Liubech in 983, established the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and influenced Eastern Slavic monastic traditions.

The settlement maintains administrative functions as a center for local governance within Chernihiv Raion, serving approximately 1,939 residents.

The settlement's position on the left bank of the Dnieper River made it a natural resting point for vessels traveling between northern territories and Kyiv.
