Vyshhorod, Administrative center in Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine

Vyshhorod stands on the right bank of the Dnieper River, bordering the Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant and stretching north from the capital city Kyiv.

The settlement served as a crucial fortified castle for Kievan Rus rulers until 1240, when Mongol forces destroyed the entire defensive structure.

Archaeological excavations between 1934 and 1947 revealed the foundations of Saint Basil's Church and numerous medieval artifacts from daily life.

Regular jitney buses connect the city with Heroiv Dnipra station on the Kyiv Metro system, facilitating transportation for residents and visitors.

The city contains over 1,500 enterprises, including a substantial building materials factory operated by the international Henkel Group.
