St. Nicholas Cathedral

Drunk Church, St. Nicholas Cathedral, P'yana Church
Ukraine, Chernivtsi
St. Nicholas Cathedral was built in 1927-39 by the Romanian architect I. Nanescu on the model of the architectural masterpiece of the mid-14th century - the royal Assumption Church in Curtea de Arges. For the unusual sloping "twisted" shape of the windows of the side drums, the church is sometimes called "Drunken", but the Chernivtsi cathedral has four twisted domes, and the Romanian one has two. In 1938, a large (948 kg) and small (592 kg) bells were installed on the bell tower. The original carved iconostasis has been preserved in the cathedral, located not opposite the entrance, but to the right of it, as required by the rules - on the east side. Next to the cathedral is the residence of the Bukovinian metropolitan.

Heavenly beauty cathedral is located in the central part of the city of Chernivtsi. Church of St. Nicholas was built by arch. I. Nanescu, modeled on the masterpiece of Romanian medieval architecture - the royal church of the mid-14th century. in Curtea de Arges. In Soviet times, the Nicholas Church remained active (it was a cathedral and the residence of the bishop), thanks to which the original interior was preserved. Nicholas Cathedral is a real miracle of architecture, of which there are only a few in the world.
