Borysohlibska Church in Vyshhorod

Borysohlibska Church in Vyshhorod, Orthodox church in Vyshhorod, Ukraine

Borysohlibska Church is a brick church in the Russo-Byzantine style, built in 1861–1862 to Konstantin Thon's design on the foundations of the medieval church in Vyshhorod. It has a single dome, one apse and a three-tier bell tower with a faceted tent roof; its cross-shaped plan measures 34 m long, 12 m wide and 21 m high. The walls are unplastered.

The first church on the site was built by Yaroslav the Wise after a fire in 1020 destroyed the Church of St Basil, where the bodies of Boris and Gleb were buried. Prince Izyaslav replaced the wooden church with a stone one consecrated on 20 May 1072. A larger stone church, begun by Svyatoslav and completed under Vsevolod, was consecrated on 1 May 1115 in the presence of Vladimir Monomakh. It was destroyed during Batu's invasion in 1240. The present church, designed by Konstantin Thon, was built in 1861–1862 and restored in 1991.

The church keeps the name of Saints Boris and Gleb, the first church dedicated to the brothers, whose relics were solemnly transferred here in 1072 and 1115. The parish belongs to the Kyiv Metropolis of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine; its rector, appointed by Metropolitan Epiphanius, is Archpriest Vitalii Klos, a doctor of theology and professor.

The church stands on Petra Kalnyshevskoho Street in Vyshhorod and can be reached on foot from the town center. As an active place of worship, visitors are expected to dress modestly and behave respectfully, especially during services.

Excavations around the hill have uncovered foundations of medieval structures, including remains of an old Rus hillfort that predates the current church by several centuries. This shows the site was already a fortified settlement long before the church was built on it.
