Hostynnyi Dvir (Ukrainian: Гостинний двір, Russian: Гостиный двор, Gostiny dvor) is a trade complex (hosting court) built in Kyiv, Ukraine (at the time part of the Russian Empire) back in 1813 by Luigi Rusca.
The interpretation of name in two languages is different due to semantics of both. Literally in the Russian language the word means a goods court, while in the Ukrainian language — a welcome court. The complex was built as part of many complexes that were built in cities of the Russian Empire.
Located at the Kontraktova Ploshcha (Contract Square), in the historical neighborhood of Podil, the building is the central piece of the squares architectural ensemble, many buildings of which are also included in the Historical-Architectural Preserve "Ancient Kyiv".
