About this place
Novozavodskyi sits within Chernihiv, one of Ukraine's most ancient and culturally rich cities. Located about 150 km north of Kyiv, Chernihiv was the second most significant center of the medieval Kyivan Rus' state, and its remarkable collection of nearly thousand-year-old Orthodox churches reflects that deep history. The area offers a compact, accessible slice of northern Ukraine, where sacred architecture and provincial charm come together.
Today the city remains an important Orthodox pilgrimage destination thanks to its well-preserved temples, functioning monasteries, and the Anthony Caves with their underground churches and revered icons. Visitors will find a walkable historic core centered on the ancient Detinets, several parks and green spaces, and a modest selection of theaters, cafés, and restaurants.

Best Time to Visit
