Kozelets is a large village with a population of about 8,000 people located in the southwestern part of Chernihiv Oblast, on the banks of the Oster River, about 67 km south of Chernihiv. The highway from Kyiv to Chernihiv passes through this village.
Here you can find several interesting architectural monuments belonging to Ukrainian cultural heritage – beautiful churches, built in the 18th-19th centuries. Photos by: camrador.
Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin (1762-1763). It is a unique monument, which combines elements of Ukrainian and Rastrelli baroque.
