    Chernigov Collegium At the end of the 17th century, on the territory of the cathedral Boris and Gleb Monastery - the residence of the Chernigov archbishops, on the initiative of the Chernigov Archbishop Lazar Baranovich, a two-tier refectory was erected for the brethren. In 1702, Chernigov Archbishop John Maksimovich consecrated the bell tower attached to the monastery refectory, which had the Church of All Saints in the eastern part. Unfortunately, two domes of this church have not survived. In the bell tower, built at the expense of Hetman Ivan Mazepa, there was a church named after the hetman’s patron saint, John the Baptist. The upper part of this bell tower was decorated with ceramic icons of “The Savior Not Made by Hands” and “Our Lady of the Sign”, which have survived to this day. At the end of the 19th century, in the western part of the bell tower, the “Red Porch” was added - the main entrance, in the style of Moscow architecture. From 1700 to 1786, the Collegium, the first higher-level educational institution in Left Bank Ukraine, was located on the territory of the monastery, and a philosophical class was taught in the monastery refectory. During the Second World War, the building was almost completely burned, and it was restored in the fifties of the last century, according to the design of the Kyiv architect N. Govdenko. Today, this building houses ongoing exhibitions of Ukrainian icon painting, an exhibition dedicated to the history of the Collegium and Chernigov and Chernigov people 100 years ago. The Chernigov Collegium is part of the national historical and architectural reserve "Chernigov Ancient" (its administrative building) and belongs to the architectural monuments of national significance.

    A wonderful place to relax! Thanks to the city authorities and Mayor Atroshenko personally for this wonderful place... (p.s. We need to pay attention to the small architectural forms (benches (not convenient for sitting) and the close location of trash cans to the benches), and it's great - I want to keep this course and increase the pace...

    The most amazing architectural building in Chernigov, which is located on the edge of the rampart of the former fortress. It is a sample of Ukrainian Baroque. I was attracted, as if by some kind of "puppetry". The five active halls of the museum are worth attention (especially the icons from the iconostasis of the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin in Kozelka)

    Насправді Чернігівський колегіум розташовувався поруч в окремому корпусі. Але храм неповторний.

    Ingenious architects of the eighteenth century combined three buildings from different times into one complex, and they turned out well even in the first year. And the collegium was famous for being one of the best, "elite" educational institutions of those times, like the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Nowadays, the "Chernihiv Starodavniy" reserve has placed its expositions here. The former archbishop's palace is very close by. It was built in 1780 in the style of classicism. I will add from myself, maybe subjectively: provincial imperial classicism. There are still many similar pompous, ultimately beautiful buildings of the eighteenth-nineteenth centuries, once administrative and public buildings, on Vala

    Interesting exhibitions, affordable prices, especially for history lovers. There are permanent exhibitions: Chernihiv 100 years ago, Exhibition of Old Prints, Class of the Collegium, Icons of the Dnipro region, many paintings and diagrams of the city from different eras. The room itself is very atmospheric. The "Crown of the World" exhibition is very interesting!!!!
