CATHEDRALS & CHURCHES
Chernivtsi religious structures personify the
best historical traditions of architecture. The oldest one is the wooden St.
Mykolay Church typical for Bukovyna of XVI-XVIII centuries. In 1787
Roman-Catholic Cathedral of St. Cross Erection was built. Another
distinguishing construction is the Holy Spirit Cathedral that was sanctified in
1864 by Evhen Hakman, a bishop of Bukovyna being one of the most outstanding
personalities of Bukovyna’s spiritual life in the XIX century. A wonderful
example of neo-Gothic is Jesuit Jesus Heart Cathedral. Another prominent city architecture
monument was Temple Synagogue.
