The Great (Glavnaia) Synagogue in Odessa in Kherson is an Ashkenazi synagogue built between 1847 and 1850 by architect Francesco Morandi (1811–1894). This Rundbogenstil brick building still serves as a synagogue.
The Lutheran Church of Odessa was built in the 19th century to attract German settlers to the Russian Empire. The first Lutheran church was built between 1825 and 1827. However, due to the rapid increase in the number of Lutherans in the city, the church had to be rebuilt from 1895. After decades of abandonment after World War II, the church was handed over to the German Evangelical Lutheran Church and restoration work began.
The Transfiguration Cathedral in Odesa was founded in 1794 and consecrated in 1808. Originally a small religious building at the beginning of the 19th century, it became one of the largest cathedrals in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century. The original structure was demolished by the Soviets in 1936. It was rebuilt from 1999 to 2003.
