The residence of the Metropolitans of Bukovina and Dalmatia is a unique building, an architectural ensemble not only for Chernivtsi, but for Europe as a whole - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The building was built in Austria-Hungary for 18 years! From the consecration of the building site and the laying of the cornerstone in the foundation until the very end, the work was supervised by the "author" - the famous Czech architect Josef Hlavka.
