St. Sophia Cathedral is one of the main cultural monuments of Ukraine. It’s a must visit for tourists and a favorite place to take a walk for locals.
For centuries, Sophia's "health" has been supported by patrons, including Yaroslav the Wise, Ivan Mazepa, and UNESCO.
In 2020, Darnitsa teamed up with the Zagoriy Foundation to help the National Sanctuary "Sophia of Kyiv". The company donated the sanctuary the Biodry device to fight rising damp and preserve 1,000-year old frescoes. This technology already protects cultural and artistic heritage around the world: the Enzo Ferrari Museum, the castle in Malbork, the Parliament building in Italy, and the Historical Museum in Oradea. The same system will now help save the frescoes of the Sophia of Kyiv from excessive moisture.
By taking care of Sophia, Darnitsa preserves the monument for this and future generations.
