Church of St. Paraskeva Serbian, Chernivtsi, Orthodox church building in Chernivtsi, Ukraine.

The Church of St. Paraskeva Serbian stands as a pseudoromanesque structure with distinctive architectural features designed by architect A. Pavlovsky in the 19th century.

The current stone church, built between 1844 and 1862, replaced an earlier wooden structure from 1745 that served as a customs church due to its location.

The cathedral gained national significance when it hosted the funeral of Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko on February 29, 1864, marking the first local tribute.

Located on Zankovetskoi Street at coordinates 48.295617, 25.935861, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors throughout the year.

During the Soviet era, the building functioned as a Chess Club, resulting in the loss of original wall frescoes that adorned its interior spaces.
