The Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Ukraine, is a striking example of 19th-century historicist architecture, designed by Czech architect Josef Hlavka between 1864 and 1882. This grand complex, originally built as a bishop’s residence, seminary, and monastery, blends Byzantine, Gothic, and Baroque styles, reflecting the Orthodox Church’s cultural identity under Austro-Hungarian rule. Today, it serves as part of a national university, showcasing its well-preserved buildings, including a domed Seminary Church, chapel, and landscaped park. Its recognition by UNESCO in 2011 highlights its architectural mastery and historical significance.
