General information about Church of Saint Paraskeva of Serbia (Chernivtsi)

The Church of Saint Paraskeva of Serbia is the first Orthodox stone church in Chernivtsi.

It was built on the site of a wooden parish church according to the project of architect Antin Pavlovsky.

In 1864, on the third anniversary of Taras Shevchenko's death, the Chernivtsi Ruthenians first commemorated Kobzar in the church of Saint Paraskeva, thus recognizing themselves as Ukrainians.

In Soviet times, a chess club was located here.

Since 1992, the church has acquired the status of a cathedral. Since then, the Church of Saint Paraskeva has been the cathedral of the Chernivtsi Diocese of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

Церква Святої Параскеви Сербської - перший православний кам'яний храм у Чернівцях.

Побудована на місці дерев'яної парафіяльної церкви за проєктом архітектора Антіна Павловського.

В 1864 році, на третю річницю смерті Тараса Шевченка, чернівецькі русини у церкві Святої Параскеви вперше вшанували пам'ять Кобзаря, тим самим усвідомивши себе українцями.

За радянських часів тут розташовувався шаховий клуб.

Від 1992 року храм набув статусу собору. Відтоді церква Святої Параскеви є кафедральним собором Чернівецької єпархії Православної Церкви України.
