The project of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate has been selected as the best concept to restore the Tithe Church in Kyiv, reported the head of the standing Committee on Culture and Tourism of the Kyiv City Council, Oleksandr Bryhynets.
The members of the committee at their session have chosen two projects, one of which envisages the construction of a small chapel and the other the construction of a large medieval church.
It was proposed that the work teams of the two projects should unite to create a unified version.
The authors of the projects are the Synodal Department of Architecture, Construction and Protection of the Architectural Monuments of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate headed by Protopriest Vitalii Kosovskyi, the secretary of the Kyivan Metropolitanate, Olha Kruhliak, the chief architect of the Synodal Department, and Andrii Myrhorodskyi, a deputy of the Kyiv City Council.
The conception of the restoration was to envisage conservation and modern museumification of the Tithe Church and creation of an architectural ensemble with the possibilities of tours for visitors, reported the website of the UOC-MP.
