About the Conservation Area

Історія заповідника "Софія Київська"

The background of the Conservation Area was even in 1919, when the nationalized buildings of the former Sophia monastery were partially transferred to Ukrainian national historical museum of religious worship. Also a variety of institutions, including Sophia commission of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, housed in these buildings. In 1929 the famous Ukrainian scholar and monument protector F. Ernst first suggested the idea to declare the homestead of St. Sophia Cathedral a Conservation Area.
