The purpose of this article is to reveal the historiography and current state of research related to the cult buildings of the Eneolithic period of the Cucuteni-Trypillian cultural community. The article describes the historical path of archaeological discoveries, from the first Trypillian sanctuaries to the discovery of the largest Nebelivka temple complex in Ukraine in 2012. At the same time, the work partially raises the issue of religious beliefs of the ancient farmers of Central Europe in connection with the discovery of their sacred buildings. Since special scientific works have not comprehensively addressed this issue and are still fragmentary in nature, it is important at the present stage of research to make some coverage and systematization of existing materials on this issue.
