Mazepa house, Historical landmark in Pechersk district, Kyiv, Ukraine.
The Mazepa house sits within the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra complex and displays Ukrainian baroque design from the late 17th century with distinctive facades and vaulted interior spaces. The building is part of a larger group of monastery structures spread across different levels of the grounds.
Ivan Mazepa, Hetman from 1687 to 1708, funded this building as part of his architectural investments in the Lavra monastery. His patronage shaped the complex's development during a time of growing cultural wealth in the region.
The building shows how Ukrainian builders blended local design elements into religious structures, developing a style of their own. You can still see traces of this tradition today in the decorated details and the way rooms are arranged.
Access is through the main entrance of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra complex, which is open during daylight hours. Wear comfortable shoes as the grounds are hilly and connect different levels of the site.
A bell originally donated by the Hetman still hangs in the complex's bell tower and dates from his time in power. Visitors often overlook this detail, which reflects the personal connection between the historical patron and the site.
