St. Nicholas Seamen Church, also known as the Navy Church, was founded in 1865. Until the anti-Greek upheavals of the early 20th century, the temple was Greek, but on July 4, 1906, it was occupied by activists of the Bulgarian patriotic movement and Bulgarian priests began to serve. It was only in 1961 that the inner walls of the temple were painted.
The Ashkenazi Synagogue in Varna was built in 1927 and restored in 2006. This Art Deco brick building is now used as an office.
The Sephardi Synagogue in Varna was built in 1890 and is now abandoned. This brick building contains elements of both Neo-Moorish and Neo-Romanesque style.
The "Holy Assumption", built in 1882 - 1886, is the Cathedral of Varna and one of its symbols. Its construction was undertaken by both Bulgarians and Russians after the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878.
