In the Kiev tract of Dorogozhichi, a unique monument of Orthodox architecture and spirituality has been preserved since the 12th century - the church in honor of the saints Cyril and Athanasius of Alexandria, which is simply called Kirillovskaya for short. After St. Sophia Cathedral, this is the second oldest temple in the capital, preserved to this day from the times of Kievan Rus.
У київському урочищі Дорогожичі з ХІІ століття збереглася унікальна пам'ятка православної архітектури та духовності – церква на честь святителів Кирила та Афанасія Олександрійських, яку скорочено називають просто Кирилівською. Після Софійського собору це другий за давниною храм у столиці, що зберігся донині з часів Київської Русі.
Кирилівська церква будувалася як сімейний усипальниця роду князів Ольговичів. Першою тут була похована вдова Всеволода Марія – дочка святого князя Мстислава Великого та онука Володимира Мономаха. Саме вона втілила у життя задум рано померлого чоловіка про зведення Кирилівського храму та монастиря. З Іпатіївського літопису відомо, що у 1171 році обитель вже існувала. Сама княгиня прийняла у монастирі схіму. Тут же було пострижено перед смертю і потім поховано її сина, князя Святослава Всеволодовича – одного з головних героїв «Слова про похід Ігорів».

I met some baroque girls in front of a baroque building in Schlossgarten Schwetzingen. You know I rarely take photographs of people. But if they are historical people in mice baroque clothes, I just can't resist. I asked them, if I may upload the photographs.
Mirow Castle, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany
From 1749 to 1760 the baroque Mirow Castle was built according to plans by Christoph Julius Löwe. The simple building has a precious interior. Worth seeing is the ballroom with a lavish stucco decoration and wall decorations made of colored marble.
Giovanni Battista Clerici from Italy created this vivid stucco universe.

The weird light effects is the result of the camera (and I) just having been out in the rain.
