St. Andrew’s Church

St. Andrew’s Church is one of the most striking examples of 18th-century Baroque architecture in Kyiv. It was designed by renowned Italian architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli and built between 1747 and 1753. Located on Andriivskyi Descent, the church is both a religious landmark and a true architectural gem. Its viewing platform offers sweeping views of the city. Today, the church also functions as a museum and a concert venue for the National House of Music.
