St. Michael the Archangel with the Golden Domes (Ukrainian: Михайлівський золотоверхий монастир) - an Orthodox monastery complex in Kiev. Cathedral church (main temple) of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
The original, unpreserved complex of sacred buildings was built by Światopełek II and expanded in the 18th century. It consisted of the buildings of the monastery, the cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel, belfry (1716–1719), refectory with the church of St. John the Theologian (1713) and the Economic Gate (1760). In the years 1934–1937 it was demolished by the decision of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine. After 1991 and the independence of Ukraine, the monastery was rebuilt.

Worth seeing orthodox church with monastery. A "must see" for the photographer. The lighting is particularly spectacular in the evening.
