Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans
The Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian
Metropolitans represents a masterful synergy of architectural styles
built by Czech architect Josef Hlavka from 1864 to 1882. The property,
an outstanding example of 19th-century historicist architecture, also
includes a seminary and monastery and is dominated by the domed,
cruciform Seminary Church with a garden and park. The complex expresses
architectural and cultural influences from the Byzantine period onward
and embodies the powerful presence of the Orthodox Church during
Habsburg rule, reflecting the Austro-Hungarian Empire policy of
religious tolerance.
