St Andrew's Church (Ukrainian: Андріївська церква, Andriivska tserkva) is a historic Orthodox church in Kyiv, Ukraine. It was built between 1747 and 1754 to a design by the Italian architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli. It is a rare example of Ukrainian Baroque. St Andrew's Church is situated on a steep hill. The hill is where Andrew the Apostle is believed to have foretold that Kyiv would become the cradle of Christianity in the Slavic lands and prophesied that the area would one day become a great city. A succession of churches have existed on or near the site, the last before the construction of the current building being a wooden church that was pulled down in 1726. The church is owned by the Ukrainian government. In 1968, it was designated as a museum, part of the National Sanctuary "Sophia of Kyiv" as a landmark of cultural heritage. From 2008 to 2018, the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church was allowed to use it as a mother church.
