    Chernivtsy has a perfectly conserved Art Nouveau theatre built 1905 by the Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer (the same theatre was built on other places, for example in Fuerth, Germany) but this one remained completely unchanged for 100 years, irrespectively of all the changes around it (first the performances were given in German, after WW 1 in Romanian, after WW 2 in Russian and now in Ukrainian) It is still the same authentic Austrian Art Nouveau theatre, better perserved than anything like that elswhere - in Austria all these treasures were bombed during WW 2 and all perfect reconstruction could not recall the original atmosphere as it is unspoilt here).

    Chernivtsy University is the former residence of the Archbishops of Bukovyna - the unique architectural ensemble, built after the project of a famous Czech architect Joseph Hlavka. Also there is the seminary, church, Halls, and University park built between 1864 - 1882.

    The university was the last one which was founded in the entire Habsburg empire 127 years ago. A part of it is still in the original buildings but the main seat of it is now the former Residence of the Orthodox Metropolite of the Bukovina and Dalmatia. It is a fascinating eclectic mix of different styles, in parts reminding of an Oxford College, in others a Byzantine palace. It was designed by the Czech architect Hlavka.

    This is the main Romanian church in Chernivtsi (Cernauti in Romanian). The both twisted towers were not designed under the influence of too much Tuica (very popular Romanian prune destillate) but an attempt to imitate after 1920 the old church of Curtea de Arges in Oltenia to attribute that way Chernivtsy somewhat more "Romanian" identity when Romania got this city and the whole Bucovina after WW 1 from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire.

    The Czernowitz Austria rediscovered

  • The Monument to Austria was erected in 1875 on Chernivtsi Austerich Sq. (nowadays - Soborna Sq.) to mark a centennial of Bukovyna’s accession to the Holy Roman Empire. The 2.5 m high Carrara marble statue of the empress Maria-Therese, depicted as a Greek goddess with the Austrian-Hungarian coat of arm, was in the center of the monument. The monument sign said: “To Austria from Thankful Bukovyna.”

    During Romanian occupation (1918-1940), the statue was thrown down from the 6-meter-high base and pulled away in unknown direction. The statue has been missing ever since. In the Soviet time its place has been taken by a monument to Soviet Soldiers- Liberators.

    In 2003, during the reconstruction of the Ukrsotsbank (a former building of the Trade Museum), a beheaded and handless female statue has been dug out in the yard, where it had been buried for over 80 years. The statue has been identified as a missing fragment of the Austria Monument.

    Currently, the statue is being restored. It is expected to “reappear” to the public this year, during the 600-year anniversary of Chernivtsi.

    Next to the Cheremoush Hotel is a little quiet lake park. Perfect for doing a little relaxing or paddle boating. Bring a blanket and a little lunch and a book and you're set.

    In California we have parks with trimmed trees and manicured grass. Perhaps a statue or two. The Kalina park is more like taking a walk in the forest. Large tree canopy the sky topping natural grass and flowers. One of the most notable item besides the summer theatre is the number of war memorials. It was then I was told of the number of people lost in WWII. This loss shapes the peoples mentality even today.
