History
The design of the wooden synagogue in Pechersk was developed in 1808 by the city architect Andrei Melensky . The project was approved by Governor Pankratiev on June 15, 1808 . Soon the building was erected.
It was a wooden one-story building, rectangular in plan (23x12 m in size). The middle part was decorated with a colonnade with a portico.
In the early 1820s, a winter (“warm”) synagogue was built nearby. However, already in 1827, Nicholas I issued an order prohibiting Jews from settling in Kiev. The buildings were dilapidated and burned down in 1829 .
