St. Nicholas's Church is a beautiful little seventeenth century chapel, with a single golden cupola, golden in its uppermost onion shape, but sky-blue beneath with many painted stars. I really like the starry domes I have seen on this church, as well as the Volodymyrs-ska Cathedral near Taras Shevchenko Park downtown. This little church in Pechersk is very appealing to me. White walls, except for the blue and gold dome, set in a little walled-in garden. It is clearly "outclassed" by the soaring bell tower and Grand Church in the adjacent plaza, but this is a wonderful little church.
