Originating in 1051, when a monk, Antoniy, had settled in a hill slope cave, the monastery played a very important role in Ukrainian cultura; development — the first printing-house was established here, many famous chroniclers, writers, scientists, painters, doctors lived and worked. In 1113 Chronicler Nestor wrote his ‘Tale of Bygone Years’ (Povest vremennyh let) — the main source of knowledge about the times of Kievan Rus. After a great fire of 1718, the restoration of damaged buildings and the construction of new ones began. The Holy Dormition Cathedral and Troitskaya Church got their present-day baroque style and the monastery territory was surrounded by stone walls. In the middle of the 18th century the unique architectural ensemble of the Lavra had been formed. Preserved for the most part, Kiev-Pechersk Lavra became the largest monastery on the territory of former Kievan Rus, its total area was almost 30 hectares. The Lavra caves are a system of underground passages, divided into two parts — Far and Near Caves – first mentioned in 1051. At first the caves were occupied by the monks who lived there, later they were used for the remains of settlers of the monastery. In particular there are remains of Chronicle Nestor the author of the Story of Bygone Years and the preserved remains of imperishable Lavra saints. ( 4.5 – 5 hrs tour)
