St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Cathedral

The Lazar Brodsky Synagogue in Kiev is a neo-Russian style synagogue from 1897-98. The architects of the synagogue are Georgii Shleifer for the initial building, and Yu. Paskevich for the restoration in 2000. The synagogue was taken out of use between 1926 and 1997.

The Volodymyrsky Cathedral was built between 1862 and 1882 in the Russian neo-Byzantine style, but the interior decoration, including many symbolist frescoes, was not completed until 1896. During the Soviet period, the cathedral escaped demolition but not closure, and during the Second World War, it became a museum of religion and atheism. After the war, the cathedral was reopened as one of the few functioning Orthodox churches in the USSR. Since 2018, the church has been the mother cathedral of the new Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which seceded from the Patriarch of Moscow.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. Since it was not marked on a cadastral map of 1863, most likely it appeared later. The earliest preserved gravestone dates to the end of the 19th century. The fence was installed by ESJF in 2018.
