Askold’s Grave

Askold’s Grave

Askold’s Grave (Аскольдова могила) is a historical park on the steep right bank of the Dnieper River in Kiev. After establishing the Soviet regime in 1934 Kiev City Council issued an order to convert the old graveyard with some 2,000 burials around the Church of St. Nicholas in a park. As the story goes, it marks the place where Prince Askold of Kiev was buried in the 9th century.
