Looking for a unique architectural gem in Kyiv? Look no further than Casa delle Chimere, also known as Casa Gorodeckij. This historic Liberty-style building, located near the presidential offices on Bankova Street, is a must-visit attraction.
Built in 1903, the building gets its name from the ornamental decorations depicting exotic animals and hunting scenes, sculpted by Italian artist Elia Sala. But it's not just the architecture that makes this place special. Casa delle Chimere holds two famous legends.
Legend has it that the architect, Vladislav Vladislavovič Gorodeckij, won a bet by successfully constructing the house on marshy land. Another legend suggests that Gorodeckij built the house in memory of his deceased daughter.
Today, Casa delle Chimere serves as the administrative offices of the President of Ukraine and is used for official delegations. Don't miss the chance to explore this architectural marvel!
