Chernivtsi’s Former Metropolitans’ Residence
Patterned tile roofs crown a long red-brick residence with decorative stepped gables.
The story behind the place
The former Residence of the Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans is part of Chernivtsi’s university heritage. UNESCO describes the nineteenth-century ensemble as a meeting of architectural and cultural influences, designed by Josef Hlávka. This view selects the main residence block, with patterned roofs, red brick and decorative gables. Look for the repeated arches below the roof and the stronger central entrance composition. The separate seminary church and other buildings belong to the wider ensemble; they are not all compressed into this one frontage.
