In the early 1870s, a unique church was built in Kyiv, popularly known as the Iron Church. It was built of cast iron and was located near the modern building of the capital's circus.

In Kyiv, at the Zvirynetske Cemetery, there is a very unusual burial of a local resident who died in 1918. On the grave of the First World War, there is a cross in the form of connected rails, the sides of which are decorated with German grenade shells.
