St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery is a functioning monastery in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. Originally built in the Middle Ages, the monastery comprises the Cathedral itself, the Refectory of St. John the Divine, built in 1713 and the monastery's bell tower, which was added circa 1716-1719. The original cathedral was demolished under the Stalin regime in the 1930s, but was reconstructed and opened in 1999 following Ukrainian independence in 1991.
