Trinity Church was built at the highest point of the intersection of Troitska and Novomestenska streets. It was completed by the Lintvarev family in 1827. At the end of the 19th century, the building could no longer accommodate all believers, so the headman Pavlo Kharitonenko suggested that the clergy build a new church at its own expense, resembling St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg. In 1901-1914, the Trinity Cathedral was built according to the project of Sumy architect Gustav Scholz. The mosaic floor of the church was designed by Russian architect Alexei Shchusev. Famous painters Ignatius Nivinsky, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin and Mikhail Nesterov worked on the interior, stained glass and iconostasis of the church. After 1917, the cathedral went through the difficult times. It was repeatedly closed, and during World War II the premises were damaged. During the Soviet era, a warehouse of haberdashery was located in the cathedral for almost thirty years. From 1988 to 2001 – the organ

3. Altanka
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 69 reviews
The octagonal open wooden gazebo with a diameter of 6 meters and a height of 10 meters was built on a high brick plinth in 1900-1901. The gazebo was built at the expense of the merchant Ivan Leshchinsky according to the project of the architect Matviy Shchavelyov. The building is decorated with columns, carved cornices and roof spiers. Outwardly, it resembles an unusual openwork building. The ornament of the Altanka contains coded symbols of Trypillia culture, pagan symbols of the sun and procreation. At the same time, the symbols of Christianity and Judaism are intertwined with them. During the revolution of 1905-1907, the Altanka was set on fire several times, and in 1913 it was rebuilt. The Altanka became a symbol of the city after the liberation of Sumy in September 1943, thanks to a photo by a front-line photojournalist. Today, the gazebo is an integral part of the image of Sumy and the city's business card.
