Encyclopedic overview

The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (1051 onwards). Various structures within the complex date from different time periods. Their styles offer an insight into the history of Ukraine and the rich craftsmanship that was developed over the centuries.

Ukrainian architecture has initial roots in the Eastern Slavic state of Kievan Rus'. After the Mongol invasion of Kievan Rus', the distinct architectural history continued in the principalities of Galicia–Volhynia and later in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. During the epoch of the Zaporozhian Cossacks, a style unique to Ukraine developed under the influences of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
