SaintAndrew's Church Kiev

 Saint Andrew’s Church is one of the most splendid pieces of Baroque architecture in Kiev. It was built between 1747 and 1754 and was meant as a private temple for Russian Empress Elizabeth and thus had no parish or bells to call to masses.

Darnytsia urban district Railway Bridge in Kiev

Direct swap from Nastya

Kiev, that historically was situated on the right bank of the Dnieper River, covers both banks of the river whose width, as it flows through the city, reaches some several hundred metres. Additionally, several tributaries fall into the Dnieper inside or just north or south of the historic city. Currently there are eight bridges spanning across the river and a few dozen bridges across the canals and Dnieper tributaries.  Due to the location and the width of the river, the bridges have always been a very attractive and hard to realize option throughout the long history of Kiev.

The temporary floater bridges were known to have existed since the 12th century. The stationary bridges existed in Kiev from the mid-19th century, but none of them survived through the turbulent events that followed the 1917 Russian Revolution.

Kiev Academic Puppet Theatre

Recieved on: 25 Jan, 2013

Travel time: 28 days

Thank you Alya from Kiev

Kiev Academic Puppet theatre is the oldest puppet theatre in Ukraine, founded on October 27, 1921. The building of the theatre has the appearance of a real fairly tale palace both in exterior and interior design. More over, the nearby territory is also decorated as a real fairly tale place for kids (sculptures of heroes from fairly tales, the fountain, banks for relaxation, flower beds etc).
