The "new" Rus (that is, Ruthenian - Ukrainian) church of Saint Nicholas was built by architects Valter Shtyubkhen-Kirkhner, Yozef Lener and Virdzhyl Ionesku, modeled on the masterpiece of Romanian medieval architecture - the mid-14th century royal church in Kurtya-de-Ardzhesh.
It is nicknamed the "drunken church" for its original "twisted" baths.
During Soviet times, the Nicholas Church remained active (it was the cathedral and the residence of the bishop), thanks to which the original interior was preserved.
It is now used by parishioners of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate.

Architecture
The house at the intersection of Holovna and Sholom-Aleykhema streets, which resembles a ship in shape (in the Bukovyna dialect, "ship" is from the German schiff). The narrowed facade resembles the nose of a ship, the open area on the second floor is a deck, and the tower above the roof is a mast or pipe.
Urban legend says that the house was built by a local entrepreneur for his sailor brother, who was called to return home after many years of traveling across distant seas.

The building of the Ukrainian People's House in Chernivtsi has been a center of national culture for over a hundred years.
The date 1884 is indicated on the facade - the year of foundation of the Ukrainian society "People's House". A two-story building was built for it in 1899.
The Ukrainian community in Chernivtsi has always been one of the largest. By the end of the 19th century it was inferior in number only to the Jewish one. Before the First World War, an active process of revival of the Ukrainian language and the national identity of Bukovyna Ruthenians, who recognized themselves as Ukrainians, took place in the city.
In the premises of the People's House, Ukrainian societies operated, periodicals were published, solemn events and meetings with outstanding figures of Ukrainian culture were held. Lesya Ukrayinka, Mykhaylo Hrushevsky, Ivan Franko and others performed here.
Now the building also belongs to the "Ukrainian People's House in Chernivtsi" society.
