The Refectory Church (
cave monastery of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. In the refectory, the Lavra monks had their meals.[1] The building was constructed in 1893-1895 at a time when more than a thousand monks were living within the monastery.[1]
The sturdy dome of the church incorporates some aspects of ancient
Dnieper River, and the left-bank
of the city.
In 1911 following the assassination of Pyotr Stolypin, the Russian politician's funeral service was held in the Refectory church and his grave is located in the Lavra.
In the
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the continued use of the church by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) has been questioned, as the lease expired on 31 December 2022.[2][needs update
