🎧 Listen to Introduction

The Residence of the Metropolitan of Bukovinia and Dalmatia represents an ingenious architectural style built between 1864 and 1882 by the Czech architect Josef Hlavka. An outstanding example of 19th century historicist architecture, the complex also includes a seminary and monastery, and features a dome, a cross-shaped seminary church, gardens and parks. The complex embodies architectural and cultural influences from the Byzantine period, reflects the strong influence of Eastern Orthodoxy during the reign of the Habsburgs, and reflects the policy of religious tolerance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
