The church of Kloster Sonnenkamp dates from the 13th century. It was probably built in three phases between 1219, 1227 and 1240. The buildings showed late Romanesque forms in transition to Gothic. Soon the first parts of the monastery church were completed, so that in 1236 it was consecrated to the Virgin Mary and St. John. Around 1245, the complete church was then standing.

The Kloyz of R. David Moshe Friedmann in Chortkiv is a Hasidic synagogue built between 1881 and 1885 by architect Jan Marcin Cieślikowski (1842–1927). This Romantic Historicist brick building is now a library.

The building of the kloyz was apparently built in the 1920s, when the Rebbe of Boyan, Menachem Nachum Friedman (1869-1936) settled in Chernivtsi. The Rebbe bought an existing house and erected the kloyz in the next plot of land. Thus, a structure of traditional Hasidic court, which unites Rebbe's house and his kloyz, was created in Chernivtsi. According to the memoirs by David Tal, a native of Chernivtsi, the prayer hall of the kloyz was decorated by the paintings of Zodiac signs, the symbols of the Tribes of Israel, Joseph with the sheaves, and the staff of Moses (Boris Khaimovich (Kiev, 2016), p. 48).
