About project
Ancient Kiev in "The Kievan Rus Park" is a unique reconstruction of one of the most famous and at the same time the most mysterious medieval city of the Eastern Europe – Ancient Kiev of the V-XIII centuries, the capital of the greatest country - Kievan Rus. It is being reconstructed in the size of its historical center known as Detinets of Kiev or the city of Vladimir in its real scale 1:1, taking into consideration the modern scientific knowledge. For the first time in the mankind’s history, the unique atmosphere of Ancient Kiev and the Kievan Rus is being recreated.
The project is being realized in the historically significant place, mentioned in the chronicles, and it most closely matches the landscape and flora of Ancient Kiev in the village Kopachiv (Obukhiv district, Kiev region).
Ancient Kyiv in the "Kievan Rus Park" is the power center of Ukraine. If we conduct imaginary lines between four Ukrainian sacred objects: from Kievan-Pechersk Lavra in the north to the Saint-Mykolaiv temple in the village of Kulevcha of the Odesa area in the south, and from Pochaivska Lavra on the west to the Saint-Sofiivska church in Kharkiv in the east - then the "Kievan Rus Park" will appear in the intersection of these lines.
