The cult building was erected in 1898-1902 by order of the Kyiv Karaite community. And although there were no more than 300 of them in Kyiv at that time, among them were quite wealthy people who could afford to buy a plot in the city center, order an original project and provide construction. The author of the project is the famous architect Vladislav Gorodetsky. Set with a narrow faç ade along the building line of the street, between the then often old-fashioned whitewashed houses, the kenasa really looked impressive - and architecture, and color, and a strange oriental bath.
