Crazy piece of Architecture, definitely worth a visit. There is so much going on with this building. You could keep walking round the Building and spot something different on every pass. It’s in a very nice park of town up on a hill about the town centre.

Opposite the President’s Residence on Bankova Street is the pinnacle of Art Nouveau architecture in Kiev. The House with Chimeras dates to 1901-02 and was designed by the Polish-Ukrainian architect Władysław Horodecki as his personal home. Horodecki was a keen hunter, which explains the many creatures on the facade, both mythical and real, like dolphins, deer, elephants, frogs, rhinoceroses and mermaids. Today the building is owned by the government and reserved for official receptions. Access is restricted on the road, and in these tense times you can’t just show up to view the interior. But if you fill out an online form well in advance there are tours on weekends, where Horodecki’s bizarre decoration includes a chandelier with catfish being strangled by lotus flowers.

The excellent example of Ukrainian Modern (art nouveau). Huge and powerful building.

An amazing example of Architectural design at the beginning of the 20th century.

Must see in Kiev. This building has a remarkable history. Ask your local guide.
