Построена в 1692 году на месте старой деревянной церкви. Деревянная Свято-Ильинская церковь — возможно является первым православным храмом Киевской Руси. Существование этой церкви летопись относит к временам ещё до Крещения Руси. Существуют предположения, что Крещение киевлян в 988 году совершилось именно около церкви святого Ильи, расположенной на Подоле на берегу рек Днепра и Почайны.

Церква під московськии патріархатом, усі служби на рос мови, це фактаж, у Інстаграм всі служіння на рос мові, але коли дзвоню у церкву, тікають від відповіді! Кожен сам зробить свої висновки! Перевіряйте інформацію і не вірте на слово. Сама церква авжеж гарна!
