Saint Andrew’s Church, an outstanding monument of the 18th century, was declared a museum in 1968.

The legend about the Apostle Andrew

The hill where the church is located was called “Andrew’s Hill” after the Apostle Saint Andrew. “The Chronicle of Bygone Times” contains an ancient legend about the Apostle Andrew, who travelled around the world and preached. One day he came to the banks of the Dnipro-Boresphenes River and spent a night there. In the morning he said to his followers: “Do you see these hills? On these hills God will spread his grace. A town will appear, and God will raise many churches.” And having blessed the place, the Apostle placed the cross on the mountain. The tradition binds construction of the cross with the location of Saint Andrew’s Church.
