Trip Planner: Europe / Ukraine / Kiev / The House with Chimeras

The House with Chimeras, Kiev

3.8

#7 of 49 in Historic Sites in Kiev

Originally built partly as a publicity stunt, The House with Chimeras features a host of intricate animal sculptures and a structure primarily made from cement. The brainchild of the architect Vladislav Gorodetsky, the request for concrete construction was made by the director of the building company as a way to showcase its versatility. Explore the building and view the menagerie of creatures adorning the walls, including rhinos, lions, catfish, and an array of mythical species. Because the building still hosts ceremonies and official events, it's really only accessible from the outside.

Looks like a cool haunted house, too bad getting through the police (it's right across from the presidents administration) is a real pain. more »

This is an incredible building, exactly as it looks in the pictures. However it is hard to access and we could only see it from the distance. Still impressive! more »
