The Church of St. Nicholas (Ukrainian: Костел Св. Миколая, translit.: Kostel Sviatoho Mykolaia; Polish: Kościół Świętego Mikołaja w Kijowie) is the second oldest Catholic church standing in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, after the St. Alexander Roman Catholic Cathedral. Today the building is shared between the Catholic Church and the National Organ and Chamber Music Hall of Ukraine.
It was constructed in 1899–1909 and was built by the Latin Catholic community in a Gothic type construction, by architects Władysław Horodecki and Emilio Sala.[1] It stands at vulytsia Velyka Vasylkivska (Greater Vasylkiv street) in Pechersk Raion next to the Kyiv National Linguistic University between the National Sports Complex Olimpiysky and the Railroad station Kyiv-Tovarny.
