Church of the Ascension in Kyiv

The Church of the Ascension features traditional Byzantine architecture with domes and detailed decorative elements characteristic of Eastern Orthodox design principles.

Built in 1882 under architect Ivan Yermakov's direction, the church replaced an earlier wooden structure from 1758 that served the community for over a century.

The church maintains an active role in the local Eastern Orthodox community through regular services, religious ceremonies, and community gatherings throughout the year.

Visitors can access the church through public transportation, with regular worship services held daily and special ceremonies conducted during Orthodox religious holidays.

The church survived closure during the Soviet period from 1930 until 1941, when services resumed during the German occupation and continued thereafter.
