Saint Andrew's Church, Orthodox church on Andriyivsky Descent, Kyiv, Ukraine.
The church displays white facades adorned with golden elements, five blue domes, and columns that characterize the baroque architectural style.
Empress Elizabeth I of Russia commissioned Italian architect Francesco Rastrelli to design this church, which was built between 1747 and 1754.
The building stands as a primary example of Ukrainian baroque style and demonstrates European architectural influence on Orthodox religious constructions.
Visitors can reach the church through Andriyivsky Descent, a cobblestone street connecting the historic Podil district to downtown Kyiv.
The church contains no bells due to a local legend stating their sound would cause the Dnieper River to flood the left bank.
