"UNESCO World Heritage The Kiev Monastery of the Caves is a monastic complex, based around two man-made cave systems, and was established in 1051 by St. Anthony--a Kievan who had spent his early years in a monastery on Mount Athos in Greece and had returned to his homeland to encourage the adoption of monasticism. He had arrived in Kiev and made his home in a cave on a hill just outside the city. His example attracted increasing numbers of followers who began to construct a series of tunnels and monastic cells, now known as the Far Caves and the Near Caves. As well as domestic quarters, the underground part of the complex contained several churches. Aboveground, the Cathedral of the Dormition was built in the second half of the eleventh century, where it was joined by several smaller churches, various theological academies, an encircling defensive wall, and the impressive Great Lavra Bell Tower. This was the highest freestanding bell tower in the world when it was finished in 1745, and is still one of the most distinctive structures on the site and in Kiev as a whole. By the turn of the twentieth century, the monastery housed around 1.000 monks and ranked as one of the most important religious centers in the Eastern Orthodox Church. In the 1920s, however, the fervently atheistic Soviet regime tried to strip the institution of its religious significance, insisting that it was nothing more than a site of historic cultural interest. In World War Il the Dormition Cathedral was mined by the Soviet army in anticipation of the Nazi occupation of Kiev: in the subsequent detonation the cathedral was almost entirely destroyed. The building has since been rebuilt in its eighteenth-century form, and although part of the complex remains under State administration, some control has been returned to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church."
