Askold Grave Church

The Church of St. Nicholas is a Neoclassical style rotunda in the Askold's Grave park of Kyiv, Ukraine.

This former Russian Orthodox church was designed in 1809 by the Moscow-born architect Andrey Melensky and was underwritten by Samuil Meshcheryakov, a merchant from Voronezh.

[1] At the same time, the early twentieth-century bell tower, the rector's house, and the 1860s fence were demolished.

[2] On July 15, 2010, the restored crypt in the basement of the church was consecrated, where the martyrs for the faith Askold and Dir are buried.

And all the electronics that can be used to perform a variety of classical and spiritual melodies were made by talented engineers from Kyiv, brothers Serhiy and Leonid Botvinko."
