St. Nicholas Cathedral was built in 1909, designed by Ukraine’s most renowned architect, Vladyslav Horodetsky. The building reflects the Neo-Gothic style with its slender spires, pipe organ facade, and stained-glass windows — all evoking the spirit of medieval Europe. Today, the cathedral functions as an active Roman Catholic church.
