A brief history of the area and the park

The first settlement originated here in 1741 (Lazarevka farm). At the beginning of the XIX century Bishop Feofan Shiyanov founded the monastery here. His name was later named the whole area in the south of Kiev. In the second half of the same century the lands of Feofanii belonged to the Mikhailovsky Monastery, and after the October Revolution a suburban state farm was organized here.

By the way, the street leading to the park is named so not by chance. In the middle of the twentieth century, a group of Soviet scientists led by Academician Lebedev was working in Feofaniya to create the world's first small electronic computer (abbreviated as MEVM).

Panteleimonovsky temple

An amazing fact: this beautiful structure has the status of an architectural monument not of the state, but only of local significance! Panteleimonovsky temple was built in 1905 in the Moscow architectural style, at the request of the monks of the local monastery. The author of the building was the famous Kiev architect Yevgeny Ermakov.

During the Second World War, the shrine was badly damaged by a direct mortar attack. In the state of semi-ruins the temple was located until the beginning of the 90s, when its reconstruction began. But the restoration of the iconostasis inside the church is still ongoing.
