Refectory Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, Ukraine

The Refectory Church is a place of worship in Kyiv Pechersk Lavra that once served both religious purposes and dining functions, featuring Russian-Byzantine architecture with ornate decorative patterns. The building merges these two uses within a single grand structure that visitors can still see today.

The present building was erected in 1893–1895 to a design by architect Vladimir Nikolayev, replacing a refectory that had stood since 1684–1694 and had become too small and dilapidated. In 1911 Pyotr Stolypin's funeral service was held here. From 1923 the Bolsheviks used the building as a lecture hall, and in 1941 it was damaged by the explosion of the Dormition Cathedral. It housed a museum of atheism from the 1960s to the 1980s.

The interior walls feature paintings and frescoes depicting fourteen saints of Pechersk in an academic style that reflects Eastern Orthodox artistic traditions. These artworks shape how the space looks and speaks to the religious devotion of the community.

The viewing area is at the rear of the refectory, not reached by climbing; it looks out over the Near and Far Caves, the Dnieper and Kyiv's left bank. Services are held daily in the morning and evening, and major Christmas and Easter services are broadcast on television and radio.

The graves of Cossack colonels Andriy Krasnozhonov and Fedir Florov, along with Vasyl Kochubei and Ivan Iskra, stand at the wall of the refectory church, not beneath it. Kochubei and Iskra were executed by Hetman Ivan Mazepa in 1708 for denouncing him to Peter the Great. A large black labradorite cross marks Pyotr Stolypin's grave.
