The rotunda of Saint Nicholas at Askold's Grave

The Church of St. Nicholas is a Neoclassical rotunda in the Askold Grave park of Kiev. This former Russian Orthodox church was designed in 1809 by the Moscow-born architect Andrey Melensky and was underwritten by Samuil Meshcheryakov, a merchant from Voronezh. The general contractor for the project was Vasiliy Serikov. The construction cost 8,000 rubles and the church was consecrated on 1 September 1810.
