It was built at the end of the 17th century, rebuilt at the end of the 18th century by Grigorovich-Barsky, when it took on its current appearance.
According to some reports, Tsar Peter I lived in this house during his visit to Kyiv in 1706. It is believed that the building belonged to Hetman Ivan Mazepa, who personally received the king. However, many historians consider this version to be another Kyiv legend - reliable data on where Peter stayed in Kyiv have not been preserved.
Built as a residential building, then it was used as a "strait house", Podolsk parish school, barracks, and an orphanage. After the communal revolution, in the mid-1970s, the building was overhauled and in 1978 transferred to the balance of the Museum of the History of Kyiv. Now there is the Museum of the History of Charity in Kyiv.
The exposition of the museum is small, tells about the history of the construction of the house, the stay of Peter I in Kyiv, the patronage of representatives of the spiritual and imperial authorities and various forms of official and civil charity in Kyiv from the Middle Ages to the revolution.
The Museum of the History of Charity is open daily from 10:00 to 17:00. Days off are Sunday and Monday. Tickets are inexpensive - 8 UAH. full, 4 UAH. preferential. I can’t say that it is “oh, how interesting”, but it is curious to visit the inside of such an ancient and rich history house.
