Saint Nicholas Church on Water, Orthodox church near Dnieper River in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Saint Nicholas Church on Water is a modern Orthodox church building with white walls and domed roofs positioned directly beside the Dnieper River in Kyiv. The structure sits at the riverbank and creates a distinctive profile against the water.

Architect Yuriy Losytskyi designed this church building, which opened to worshippers in 2003. The project emerged to meet growing demand for Orthodox places of prayer in this area of the city.

The church brings together modern design with Eastern Orthodox traditions, serving as a spiritual gathering place for worshippers who value its connection to the river.

The place welcomes visitors throughout the week for services and prayer in a calm setting. Its location next to the Dnieper makes it easy to reach and offers pleasant access from the riverside.

The church building extends partially over the Dnieper River, creating the impression that it hovers above the water. This construction makes the place an unusual example of a religious site that seems to dissolve the boundary between shore and river.
