Catholic Church of St. Clement in Sevastopol

The Catholic Church of St. Clement stands as a religious structure with pointed arches, vertical elements, and decorative details characteristic of Gothic Revival architecture.

After serving as a place of worship from 1911, Soviet authorities transformed the building into Cinema Druzhba in 1936, which operated until 2010.

The building represents both Russian and Ukrainian heritage through its dual recognition in cultural registries of both nations, reflecting the region's complex identity.

Located at coordinates 44.601364, 33.522814, the church returned to religious service in 2018 following decades of alternative use as a cinema.

The structure maintains architectural elements from its original construction while bearing traces of its transformation into a cinema during the Soviet period.
