Two legal persons bearing the Lavra’s name: what the state register records
Two legal persons bearing the Lavra’s name: what the state register records
The Unified State Register lists two different religious organisations whose names contain the words “Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra”: they have different registration codes and different addresses.

Under registration code 14351528 the register records the religious organisation “Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra /male monastery/ of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church”, at 15 Lavrska Street, building 42. This is the Kyiv Holy Dormition Caves Lavra of our directory and the owner of this site; the superior of the house recorded in the Synodal Commission’s directory is Metropolitan Pavel of Vyshhorod and Chornobyl.

The register also records another religious organisation whose name likewise contains the words “Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra”. It lists the two as separate legal persons with different registration codes and different addresses.

Sources: open registration data for codes 14351528 and 45081205, checked on 30 September 2026.

Correction, 30 September 2026. In its own voice, the item previously named the second organisation in the register by its full name, gave its registration date and address, and reported on its head, citing a report by an information service of the Church dated 16 July 2026. It now says only that the register also records another organisation whose name likewise contains the words “Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra”, under a different code and at a different address; the details of its head and that source have been removed. The name of the organisation under code 14351528 now follows the form in which the register writes it, between slashes rather than in brackets, and the register data were re-checked on 30 September 2026.
