Saint Nicholas Church is an Orthodox church located in the village of Voitove in the Zhurivskyi district of the Kyiv region. It serves as the spiritual center of the village and has the status of a local architectural monument (preservation number 70-Kv). The church is a bright example of classicism in the Kyiv region. The church has a cruciform plan with a single dome and a cupola. The facades of the church are practically identical from all sides. It was built in the style of classicism, with elements of the *Empire style. The wings of the cross-shaped plan are finished with classical *pediments with semi-circular windows. The square volume of the transept transitions to an octagonal upper tier, on which the drum of the dome rests. The exterior of the church is almost devoid of decoration. Only the cornices with a simple pattern and shallow niches slightly diversify the wall planes. The pediment above the main entrance is decorated with a modern mosaic depicting St. Nicholas.

The church was built in 1790 at the expense of Count Illia Bezborodko. In 1832, the church was slightly rebuilt, which gave it some features of the Empire style. The protective board located on the church wall indicates that the church was built in the mid-19th century, most likely referring to the reconstruction of the church. *The Empire style (“empire” in French literally means “empire” or “imperial” in English; also known as the Napoleon style or Imperial style) in the architecture of temples is characterized by grandeur and monumentality of forms that were popular during the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte in the first half of the 19th century. The main features of this style include large porticos, domes and cupola-shaped roofs, the use of marble and other expensive materials, bas-reliefs with historical scenes, and large sculptural compositions. The facades often have columns with Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian capitals.

The Empire style reflects the desire for a lavish and monumental representation of power and imperial prestige. This was a period of flourishing imperial power in France when the style reflected new spirit and ideals associated with the revival of the imperial Rome. *A fronton or pediment (from French “fronton,” from Latin “frons,” genitive “frontis” meaning “forehead, front”) is a triangular finish of the facade of a building, portico, or colonnade, which is bounded on the sides by two sloping roofs and a cornice at the base. The area within the fronton is called the tympanum.
