Askold's Grave is a historical site and expansive park complex situated on the slopes of the Dnipro River, at the intersection of Park Road and Dnipro Descent. The area is named in honor of the Kyiv prince Askold. According to legend, the Novgorod prince Oleg seized power in Kyiv in 882 by killing its rulers, the brothers Askold and Dir. In the 10th century, Princess Olga built a wooden church dedicated to St. Nicholas over Askold's grave. Askold received this name during his baptism in 867.

For many centuries, a monastery operated on the grounds of the church. At the end of the 17th century, a new monastic complex was constructed nearby, leading the monks to relocate while leaving behind the monastery cemetery and the church at Askold's Grave. In the 1930s, under Soviet authority, the cemetery was dismantled, transforming the necropolis into a park. Unfortunately, many unique tombs and gravestones were destroyed, with only a few burials being relocated. The St. Nicholas Church was closed and repurposed into a restaurant, but after Ukraine gained independence, the church building was returned to the religious community of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

Following renovations in 1998, the original appearance of the church was restored, and in 2017, a bell tower was added to the territory of Askold's Grave, featuring 51 bells made in the Netherlands. One of the park's main highlights is the observation platform, which offers a stunning panorama of the left bank of Kyiv. Askold's Grave is a tranquil place, perfect for peaceful walks and contemplation of eternity.
