A
St Andrew’s Church
That blue, beautiful piece of baroque dominating the view as you walk up ‘the uzviz ’ is St Andrew’s Church. Built in 1754 by Italian architect Bartelomeo Rastrelli, who also designed the Winter Palace in St Petersburg, this is a magnificent interpretation of the traditional Ukrainian five-domed, cross-shaped church. Entry to the rich interior, where English placards explain the history of the church, is free during frequent services and 6uah at other times.

Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery
Novhorod Siversky is the site of the idyllic Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery - a complex of wood-shingled buildings and golden-domed churches surrounded by charming 19th-century country homes and perched over the leafy banks of the Desna River. The monastery dates back to Igor’s era, although it has been rebuilt several times. Its last facelift was in 2004, on the occasion of a summit between presidents Kuchma, Lukashenko and Putin (Kuchma was born about 30km from here).
