The old Episcopal Palace was being at this point during 1864-1882 years, and on its place there was built the Residence of the metropolitans of Bukovina. The residence of the Metropolitan appeared thanks to the efforts of Bishop Eugene Hakman, which in 1863 made the Austrian king to permit the building of new spacious residence, worthy of the capital of Bukovina. Already in the following year Bishop Hakman laid the corner stone in the foundation of the future residence.
