Holy Pokrov temple complex on Obolon

The Holy Intercession temple complex includes the Intercession Church, founded in 1993, and the Intercession Cathedral, built in 2010. This magnificent structure fits perfectly into the architectural ensemble of Oboloni, one of the prestigious districts of Kiev. It occupies 2.6 hectares of land in a picturesque place on the banks of the Dnieper.

The magnificent facades of the temple are made in a harmonious combination of classical and baroque styles using new elements that are not inherent in traditional areas of temple architecture. The main building of the temple is crowned with gilded domes installed on elegant arched gazebos. The facade of the temple is generously decorated with relief columns and stucco details. Above the main entrance there is a mosaic icon of the Protection of the Mother of God with a total area of 122 square meters.

The luxurious interior of the temple amazes with its splendor, including paintings on the vaults and bright stained glass drawings. The modern iconostasis is made of marble and finished with skillful openwork carvings. All services in the temple are held to the wonderful chants of the church choir.
