In the architecture of late 19th and early 20th centuries, the figure of
Vladislav Horodetsky became prominent. Kyiv decorated with inimitable
houses built in Modern Art and Architecture style (the House with Chime-
ras), neo-classicism (the Museum of Antiquities and Arts, presently the

National Art Museum), neo-Gothic Art and Architecture style (Mykolaiv
Roman-Catholic Church, presently the House of Organ Music), Moorish
style (Karaite Temple, now Actors’ House) is especially grateful to him.

During 1910 to 1920, the neo-Baroque style, an attempt to combine
the traditions of the “high Mazepian Baroque” with the achievements of
European Modern Art and Architecture, was widespread.
The Communist regime destroyed quite a few outstanding buildings

that later were registered as monuments of architecture (for instance, Myk-
hailivsky Golden Dome Cathedral and Mykilsky Military Cathedral in
Kyiv; Troitsky Cathedral in Hlukhiv, etc.). As of today, some of them, for

example, the Mykhailivsky Cathedral, have been restored.
A separate page of Ukrainian architecture one may call its folk kind.
Considering wooden monuments are in need of special care, these archi-

tectural samples are moved to special preserves. The most famous of them
are the Museum of Folk Architecture and Domestic Life of Ukraine lo-
cated near Pyrohovo village in Kyiv and Shevshenkivsky Hai

(Shevchenko’s grove) in Lviv.
