Fastiv

Fastiv is a city in Kyiv Oblast located roughly 75 kilometers southwest of Kyiv at an elevation of 199 meters (653 feet). The city serves as a major railway junction where passenger and freight trains connect multiple directions.

The city first appeared in written records in 1390 and received Magdeburg law rights in 1601. It later became a center for Cossack military units during the 1680s.

The wooden Church of the Holy Protectress displays traditional Ukrainian craftsmanship with baroque design elements from the late 1700s. The building shows how local builders created religious spaces using local materials and regional architectural styles.

The railway station serves as the main hub for visitors connecting to different parts of the country. You can find established passenger facilities and clear connections between different train lines when changing direction.

The railway station hosted the signing of a major agreement in 1918 that brought together two separate Ukrainian territories. This moment gave the station historical weight in Ukraine's story during the early 1900s.
