The Church of the Three Holy Hierarchs, also known as the Golberg Church, is one of the oldest churches in Kharkiv. It is located in the historical part of the city, on the former 1st Cavalry Army Street, and is part of the 2nd deanery of the Kharkiv diocese. This majestic building has its own fascinating history.

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the Golberg family, consisting of five merchant brothers who traded in ironware and paint, lived in Kharkiv. It is not exactly known how they became Orthodox: perhaps it was necessary for successful business dealings, or this condition was set for one of the brothers during courtship. What is important is that they became true Orthodox Christians.

In 1903, Grigory Osipovich Golberg, the most successful of the brothers, was admitted to the first guild of merchants. In gratitude for God's mercy, he and his wife Maria decided to build a church. This decision was supported by local residents and the Diocesan Administration. The Golbergs allocated a plot of land and 10,000 rubles for construction. The church was named "Three Holy Hierarchs" in honor of the saints Gregory the Theologian, Basil the Great, and John Chrysostom, which is symbolic, as three of the brothers were named Grigory, John, and Basil.

The laying of the church took place on September 2, 1906, and construction lasted 8 years. The architectural style of the church resembles the church at the St. Petersburg courtyard of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. Alexey Sokolov, a student of Repin and Serov, spent two years painting the church, creating works in the traditions of ancient Russian and Byzantine iconography. The iconostasis was made in Italy based on original drawings. The church also planned burial vaults for the Golberg family, but they remained empty.

The church was consecrated on May 29, 1915, and could accommodate up to 650 people. About 2 million bricks were used for its construction, and the total cost amounted to 200,000 rubles. Contemporaries noted its beauty and elegance both outside and inside, thanks to Sokolov's paintings, who did not merely copy ancient frescoes but created their artistic reproduction.

After the revolution, the church was used as a warehouse, but residents obtained permission to hold services, and it reopened to parishioners in 1925. Before the war, the rector was accused of anti-Soviet activities and executed, but services resumed in 1941.

Today, the Church of the Three Holy Hierarchs remains one of Kharkiv's attractions, drawing parishioners with its beauty and ancient iconostasis. Its architecture is unique: the building has no internal load-bearing columns, and the spacious hall is covered by reinforced concrete arches, allowing for an open space and even lighting. The height of the central dome reaches 40 meters, and the bell tower, 48 meters, but thanks to architectural details, the building appears light.

In the 2000s, the church was restored, and Sokolov's frescoes were revived to their original brightness. A unique feature of the church is its acoustics, noted by all who come to services and listen to one of the best church choirs in Ukraine.
