One of the masterpieces of the Ukrainian Baroque. Pay attention to the picturesque porch-gallery to the left of the entrance - cute! )

The parishioners of the temple live in a friendly community. They go on pilgrimages together. The church has a children's Sunday school. Her pupils take part in the city competitions "Sonyashnik", "Constellation of Svyatogorya" in the music department and in language olympiads, where they take first place. The parish has its own periodical, The All Saints Leaflet. He introduces church holidays, the peculiarities of the celebration of services and the requirements of those who have come to the temple recently. Readers of the parish leaflet will be able to find answers to questions about how to properly commemorate the dead, protect themselves from witchcraft, and fight sinful habits. The parish also cooperates with educational complex No. 11, whose students visit the temple with excursions.

The Church of All Saints is an architectural monument of the 17th century, located in Kiev on the territory of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. Built in the Ukrainian Baroque style in 1696-1698. The Church of All Saints was erected at the same time as the Economical Gates by the project of the architect Dmitry Aksamitov. The economical gates are part of the Lavra fortifications system. The church was built like a cross-domed wooden church. This is a two-tiered structure. The entrance to the church is from the south, from the Economic Street of the Upper Lavra, under a small arcade, which is decorated with a pediment. A gallery with massive oak steps leads to the church itself from the entrance to the second floor. All five domes of the church are open to the inside and have windows. The interior of the church has two marble mosaic icon cases on the southern and northern walls.

One of the 3 entrance gates to the cave monastery is used as a church. You have to pay additional fees for the museum, bell tower and other structures to visit inside.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
