House with Chimeras
The House with Chimeras is an iconic Art Nouveau building in central Kyiv. Designed by eccentric architect Wladyslaw Horodecki, the mansion features concrete sculptures of mythical beasts, aquatic monsters, and exotic safari animals. Local lore claims Horodecki placed a curse upon the house after losing it to creditors, promising ruin to anyone who attempts to reside within its haunted walls.
