St. Andrew's ChurchBartolomeo Rastrelli

St. Andrew’s Church (1747–54) crowns a Kyiv hill with gilded domes and turquoise ornament typical of late Baroque design introduced by the Italian architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli. Its dynamic composition and elaborate detailing adapt Western forms to Orthodox liturgy. The church stands as a landmark of 18th-c. imperial architecture in Eastern Europe.
