Nicholas Church in Kyiv
About
The Nikolaevsky Cathedral, also known as the House of Organ Music, is yet another equally attractive landmark of Kyiv. The cathedral harmoniously blends two closely related architectural styles - Gothic and Neo-Gothic, which definitely adds an element of mystery and mystique to the monument. The cathedral is located in the city center, specifically on Krasnoarmeyskaya Street. There is a belief that its prototype was none other than the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral. Indeed, if one pays attention to the architecture and elements, many similarities can be noticed. A tower with a sharp spire is guarded by griffins, and salamanders have remained on the entrance arches for centuries, and this is no accident - each animal has its own significance. It got its second name - "House of Organ Music," in 1978, which is also when the history of the organ housed within the cathedral's walls began. It was made by the Rieger-Kloss company in a style matching the cathedral and has 3846 pipes of various diameters and about 55 stops!

Reviews and Ratings
Write a reviewНиколаевский костел поражает с первого взгляда своей архитектурой и особой величественностью. Строение выполнено в типичном готическом стиле, столь характерном для католических церквей. Правда, на мой взгляд, костел нуждается в основательном ремонте. Тем не менее, мне нравится приходить сюда не только из-за архитектуры, но и ради возможности побывать на восхитительных концертах органной музыки.
Костел Святого Николая относится к красивейшим строениям украинской столицы. Он построен в готическом стиле, чуть более века назад. Внутри Николаевского костела чудесная акустика, потому неудивительно, что в 70-х годах его реконструировали в дом органной музыки. По четвергам проходят мессы на латыни, а в вечернее время дают концерты камерной и органной музыки. Рекомендую к посещению!
