Great Lavra Belltower - the main belltower of the ancient cave monastery of Kiev Pechersk Lavra in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. It is one of the most notable buildings of the Kiev skyline (see picture).
The belltower was the highest free-standing belltower at the time of its construction in 1731-1745. It was designed by the architect Johann Gottfried Schädel, and the funds for its construction came from the Ukrainian cossack Hetman Ivan Mazepa. Its total height, with the Christian cross, is 96.5 meters (316 feet).
