Gate Church of the Trinity, Orthodox church at Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, Ukraine.
The Gate Church of the Trinity stands above the main entrance of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, featuring a small cross-in-square layout with eastern apses and Ukrainian Baroque dome.
Built between 1106 and 1108 by Prince Sviatoslav, the church became the monastery's principal place of worship after Mongol forces destroyed the Assumption Cathedral in 1240.
The interior contains over 100 artistic compositions from the early 18th century, expressing Orthodox doctrine through paintings created by the monastery's icon school artists.
Visitors enter through the monastery's western gate, where the church serves as both an architectural monument and a functioning Orthodox place of worship.
The structure remains the only above-ground building from the Kievan Rus period within Kyiv Pechersk Lavra that maintained its original foundation through centuries.
