The Villa Liebermann ( Ukrainian Маєток Лібермана ), also known as the gingerbread house ( Пряничный дом ), is an eclectic building erected in 1879 in the Ukrainian capital Kiev and houses the National Writers' Union of Ukraine .
history
The villa , built in 1879 by the architect Vladimir Nikolajew in the style of eclecticism , was rented from 1886 to 1896 by the governor general of Kiev and bought in 1898 by the sugar baron Simcha Liebermann. The namesake of the villa had the building topped up by the architect Nikolayev and decorated in a neo-Renaissance style. On the first floor, the Jewish owner had a retractable roof installed in a room used as a prayer house, which could be used as a stable tabernacle for years at tabernacle festivals .
On February 16, 1989, the People's Movement of Ukraine for Perestroika was founded in the building, which later turned into a political party.
The writers' association, which has been based in the villa since 1953, organizes 200 to 250 different cultural events each year, such as literary evenings in the building.
location
The Villa Liebermann is located in the Kiev downtown on Wulyzja Bankowa ( Вулиця Банкова ) 2 near the house with the chimeras , the House of the Weeping Widow and the Presidential Administration of Ukraine .
